Are you looking for an easy flood prevention method to protect your valuable property? The WIPP™system is the answer!
Are you wondering how this system works? There are three essential parts that work together to stabilize the barriers:
- Internal Baffle System: The patented internal restraint baffle locks into place to stabilize the barrier when exposed to uneven hydrostatic pressure.'
- Freeboard: This is the amount of inflated barrier above the water level. At least 25% freeboard is necessary on all installations. In fast moving water, additional freeboard may be required.
- Surface Friction: When exposed to uneven water pressure the WIPP system requires surface friction. If the soil is weak or slick additional freeboard may be needed.
Protect your property by choosing an effective flood prevention method today!

Do you want to know what sizes are available?
Inflated heights are 1-foot through 8-feet and are made in custom lengths to meet your needs. For example, shorter units can be made to protect doorways or longer units can be used to provide complete perimeter protection. In addition, multiple units can be connected to provide continuous coverage over large areas.
| Inflated Height (ft/m) | Maximum Controllable Water/SedimentDepth (in/cm) | Gallons per Linear Foot (L/m) | Inflated Width (fr/m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/0.31 | 9/22.9 | 14/174 | 2.25/.69 |
| 2/0.61 | 18/45.7 | 56/695 | 4.5/1.37 |

Each inflated section is straight and cannot be bent. To join the sections, an OVERLAPPING TECHNIQUE is used.
The amount of overlap is determined by height of the WIPP™ barrier, as indicated in the chart below:
| Height (ft/m) | Overlap Length (ft/m) |
|---|---|
| 1/0.31 | 2/.61 |
| 2/0.61 | 3/.91 |
| 3/0.92 | 4.5/1.37 |
| 4/1.22 | 6/1.83 |
| 5/1.53 | 7.5/2.29 |
| 6/1.83 | 9/2.74 |
| 7/2.14 | 10.5/3.2 |
| 8/2.44 | 12/3.66 |

We at Hydrological Solutions would like to recognize the contribution of our late friend and colleague, John Palmerton PE, for his participation in the development of our Aqua-Comp program. John worked for 30 years with the US Army Corps of Engineers at the Vicksburg, MS office and as a pioneer in development of the distinct element modeling program. His invaluable involvement in the design of our systems has culminated in the safest and most stable water inflatable dam on the market today.
