Overview of Procedures

Aqua-Barriers® are versatile and can be installed in various environments. Below are simplified overviews of the three primary types of Aqua-Barrier installations.

Moving Water Installation

When dynamic or moving water is present, barriers must be strategically positioned using hydraulic equipment or by anchoring one end at the shoreline.

  • Position barriers properly by controlling the ends with hydraulic equipment (e.g., 200 series or larger track hoe, crane).
  • Alternatively, anchor at least one end of the barrier at the shoreline.

Dry Land Installation

This method is used when there is no water present at the installation site, often in anticipation of floodwaters.

  • Unroll the barriers at the designated location.
  • Inflate the barriers to their full capacity.

Standing Water Installation

Suitable for locations with non-moving water, this method utilizes the buoyancy of the barriers to position them correctly.

  • Place barriers at the water’s edge.
  • Unroll the barriers on the water’s surface.
  • Float the barriers into the desired position.

USING MULTIPLE BARRIERS

Fit unique project layouts

The Aqua-Barrier® system is designed to make installation and field use quick, versatile, and easy. Its innovative design allows for rapid deployment in various environments, whether dealing with moving water, dry land, or standing water. The barriers can be efficiently positioned using equipment or simply unrolled and inflated, depending on the site conditions.

IN MY LINE OF WORK, WE DEAL WITH WATER ON A DAILY BASIS, SO WHEN IT COMES TO CANALS AND BLOCKING WATER INSTEAD OF USING A DIRT DIKE THAT COULD POSSIBLY BLOW OUT AND CAUSE MORE DAMAGE, WE FOUND AQUA BARRIERS THEY ARE SIMPLE TO INSTALL AND BARELY ANY CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DONE USING THEM. THEY WORK PERFECT WITH BLOCKING OFF ANY CONTOUR THAT THE DIRT BANKS HAVE AND SEALING EVERY POSSIBLE CREVICE. ORDERING THEM WAS SUPER EASY THE MAIN LADY YOU DEAL WITH AT HSI WAS AWESOME, SUPER SIMPLE PROCESS AND RECEIVED THEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HIGHLY SUGGEST USING THESE BARRIERS, THEY WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY.THANK YOU AQUA BARRIERS AND HSI

I guess this place does a good job. Which makes it all the more disappointing that they openly support a presidential candidate who is all over Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs, all over Jeffrey Epstein's phone message logs, and has a lengthy list of child sexual assault allegations. With an entire list of children's families who were paid hush money. They also openly support a presidential candidate who has consistently praised the actions of communist autocrats like Kim jong-un, Vladimir Putin and Xi jinping. He promised a wall, he promised it would be paid for by Mexico, he promised healthcare, he promised infrastructure, the list goes on and on of broken promises. But he did manage to pass a record tax break for the richest Americans, further adding to the biggest deficit any president has ever rung up in this country's history. Maybe that's what this company is all about after all. Yet another tax break.Oh, and he is also, and this has been corroborated by members of his staff during his administration, said absolutely disgusting things about our veterans and our active duty military members. He is exactly what Ted Cruz and other conservatives said he is back in 2015 And I pray that he loses again this November.This company claims to be Christian. Hopefully one day they will walk the walk when choosing who to support politically.

Dealing with HSI services makes work a breeze. I have used the aqua bags for years now and they have never let me down. Maritza is always on point when I call in on something I’m not sure about , she always tells me everything I need to know.

The Aqua Barrier product works as described and is very flexible for our job needs. The installation is relatively straight forward and created a buffer between the work zone and the body of water within a day. After seeing the installation process and dewatering efforts afterwards, I believe the aqua barrier saved a significant amount of time on the front end of our projects.
