Tilt-Dam Applications
The first prototype Tilt-Dam was financed with a grant from the Institution of Civil Engineers and was built in the Autumn of 2004. In December 2004 the Dam was tested at the Building Research Establishment (BRE) at Garston, Herts for practicality and performance.
A series of tests, by 2 man teams, gave speeds of less than 3 minutes to raise and secure a 3 metre long dam. From these tests we state 2 persons can secure a Tilt-Dam Flood Defence at the rate of a metre a minute
