OBLOC® is a new way to keep homes and buildings from getting flooded.
Extreme weather events are becoming more often and violent as a result of climate change, hitting hitherto unseen locations. These have a significant financial, ecological, and psychological impact. Ausec has created the OBLOC® family of flood control solutions to mitigate these effects. Flood barriers absorb, block, and channel water and sludge during a flood, reducing damage and waste. When triggered in contact with water, this lightweight, thin-looking bag expands its volume by 2400%. These items’ proprietary invention enables minimal storage volume, homogenous activation, and great water retention capacity. They are eco-friendly and may be used independently.
Positive facts about OBLOC®
OBLOC® flood bags allow to reduce the storage volume by 1900% compared to a traditional sandbag (10 sandbags = 0.36m3, 10 OBLOC® bags = 0.019m3)
OBLOC® flood bags are 4 times faster to implement (2 hours for the 10 sandbags (reception, filling and installation), about 30 minutes for the 10 OBLOC® flood bags)
The solution is composed of 87% recycled products (super absorbent polymers not adapted to the hygiene sector), these products are reused to reduce the waste generated following a flood – The envelope is composed of recyclable polypropylene
OBLOC® products contribute to reduce the waste generated by floods
The use of OBLOC®s products reduces the use of sandbags, CO2 emissions related to sand transportation and damages related to sand extraction.,
Up to 25% cheaper than alternative : 10 OBLOC® bags = 158€ VS 10 sandbags = 198€
In case of flooding at a professionals premises/collectivity, no stoppage of activity, no loss of equipment/products/stock and the supply chain remain operational,
