Last year's comprehensive flood control drill scene: Delta Tube
Taiyo Kogyo Corporation (Tokyo Head Office: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Osaka Head Office: Yodogawa-ku, Osaka; President: Yuki Nomura), which handles large membrane structures (tent structures), civil engineering, and logistics materials, has been requested by the River Techno Research Association (General Incorporated Association)® (Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Katsumi Seki) to participate in comprehensive flood control drills held in 11 regions nationwide in conjunction with "Flood Control Month" (May 1st to 31st; June in Hokkaido). The company is providing disaster prevention products such as the triangular water bag "Delta Tube®", the hybrid air tent "Mac Quick Shelter®", and the assembled temporary flood barrier "Delta Panel", supporting drills aimed at strengthening flood control systems in various locations.
Flood Control Month
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism designates May (June in Hokkaido) as "Flood Control Month" every year. As part of disaster prevention and mitigation efforts, the purpose is for each citizen to deepen their understanding of the significance and importance of flood control as the rainy season and typhoon season approach. Every year, the national government, prefectural governments, and flood control management organizations (municipalities, etc.) collaborate to conduct flood control training, including comprehensive flood control drills.
Portable Special Levee "Delta Tube® (Triangular Water Bag)"
This is a long triangular bag made of highly waterproof sheets. It is laid out on top of a levee, and by injecting water into it, it prevents overflow from the levee. As a flood control tool replacing traditional sandbags, it is lightweight, can be compactly folded for storage and transport, and can be quickly installed. It also has water-stopping properties to prevent overflow and inundation, and is environmentally and resource-friendly.
Hybrid Air Tent "Mac Quick Shelter®"
Mac Quick Shelter® is a hybrid air tent that can be quickly and easily set up in emergencies and disasters. It can be set up by four women in 10-15 minutes, demonstrating immediate responsiveness for a wide range of uses, including disaster response headquarters and aid stations. It has been utilized over 3200 times for medical and other purposes during disasters such as the Great East Japan Earthquake and the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.
Assembled Temporary Flood Barrier "Delta Panel"
This is a flood control tool that, when torrential downpours are expected to cause inundation to buildings, guards the water entry points with a structurally stable triangular cross-section membrane structure in a band shape to suppress damage. Unlike traditional sandbags, it completely eliminates the series of tasks involved in securing soil, filling bags, and stacking completed sandbags; installation is completed simply by connecting and assembling on-site.
