Description: A deployable waterwall designed to provide temporary blast mitigation and fragment retention arising from vehicle-born improvised explosives devices (VBIED) up to 500kg.
Made from either polyvinyl chloride (pvc) or neoprene coated internally reinforced fabric, the units are designed to be deployed manually.
First they are filled with air to provide stability, then water (typically from a fire hydrant), the water displacing the air through a pressure relief valve (PRV). Each unit interlocks with its neighbour to create a stable unbroken
wall.
