The Air Walk

Posted in: Air Rope, flood, Inflatable, Lee Jee Won, Lee Juan, Lee Yong Ho, Rescue Tunnel

Air Rope is an inflatable rescue tunnel that can be deployed during flood situations. It is a safer option to the rope pulley system and is easier to use. Instead of braving the torrent and crossing the river to secure a pulley system, the inflatable air walk is used. Air is pumped into a doughnut-shaped fabric tube that extends into a round tunnel.

It can be used as a thoroughfare across a river when secured to the ground and a tree at each end.
A motor and propeller create a powerful flow of air.
The air nozzle has a screw-in profile to prevent air leakage.
Aluminum alloy, which is light and strong, is used for the metal components. When deflated, the tube can be folded and packed into its storage case.

Air Rope is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner.

Designers: Lee Yong Ho, Lee Jee Won & Lee Juan

Deflecting Flash Floods

Posted in: 360° Water Barrier, Barrier, flood, Nicholas Tay

Flash floods are such a pain, especially to merchants and street vendors who stand to lose the most in this emergency situation. One of the more aesthetic preventive actions is the 360° Water Barrier. Essentially this is a road barrier that is seen dotting the city roads in the low-lying areas, and has expandable metal shutters that can be used to prevent or divert the flow of the water. With a couple more refinements, this could become a do-able concept. What do you think?

So We Survived 2012

Posted in: CONTROL, Defender, flood, Sandbag, Teng Xuan, Yang Zhaonan, Zhang Mingxi, Zhen Zhiliang

And you know what that means right? The Mayans were wrong; the world did not end, but that doesn’t mean the end of natural disasters like floods and tsunami. Which is why it’s better to be prepared than sorry. Look forward to a bright future with preparedness gear like the Defender, which is a ‘sandbag’ for flood control. It contains absorbent recycled paper fiber that becomes heavy when wet. When dry, however, it is lightweight and is easy to handle. Stay safe people!

Defender is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.
