General information
- Short Summary
- The system (to be manufactured) is an innovative inflatable flood protection system designed to safeguard homes and buildings. It consists of a durable, air-filled barrier that can be quickly deployed in front of doors and openings(windows/garage) to block rising water. Lightweight, reusable, and easy to install without tools, it offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for preventing flood damage
- Full Description
- The product is a flood protection system designed for residential and commercial buildings. It consists of a robust inflatable barrier that can be rapidly deployed in front of doors, windows, or other openings to prevent water ingress during flooding events. The system is manufactured from high-strength, waterproof materials ensuring durability and multiple reuse cycles. It is lightweight, compact, and requires no tools for installation, allowing quick and easy deployment even in emergency situations. Its design minimizes storage space and simplifies handling compared to traditional sandbags or rigid barriers. By creating a tight seal against openings, Bigimot effectively reduces property damage and operational downtime. This solution offers a cost-efficient and practical approach to flood risk management, supporting resilience for homeowners, businesses, and municipalities facing increasingly frequent extreme weather conditions.
