[Case Study] Responding to BCP formulation requests from automobile manufacturers with water stop boards.

We have added a video of the water stop test to the product page of the "F-shield Folding Water Stop Board"! In this video, we introduce the water stop performance test of the "F-shield Folding Water Stop Board," assuming various scenarios. Please take a look. The "F-shield Folding Water Stop Board" from Furukawa Electric is a lightweight and simple alternative to sandbags for water stopping and waterproofing. It has approximately 15 times the water stop performance compared to sandbags. It can be easily assembled by placing it on the ground, opening it, and locking the fittings, making it a lightweight water stop board that can easily prevent flooding damage from typhoons, floods, and sudden heavy rain. When folded, it becomes as thin as 80mm, allowing for space-saving storage in narrow places such as shelves, entrances, garages, and warehouses. The water stop boards can be connected to each other, and the connection points allow for a maximum width adjustment of 50mm and an angle adjustment of ±5°, making it adaptable to various widths and shapes of openings. 【Features】 ■ Leakage amount: Approximately 200L/(h·m2) *This is not a guaranteed value, but our test result. ■ Lightweight at 5.8kg per board (5.3kg for end pieces) ■ Can be installed for 10m with just one person in about 10 minutes ■ Reusable and long-lasting ■ No special construction required, and easy to dispose of.

Mr. Yamamoto is responsible for the overall safety management operations of the company in the Safety and Environment Department of the Production Headquarters at Special Spring Industry Co., Ltd. "There are first-class rivers, the Inagawa and the Darokugawa, near our factory, and when typhoons or linear precipitation zones occur, there is a risk of these rivers flooding. In fact, a major typhoon passed through Hyogo Prefecture in 2018, and at that time, we were really on the brink of river flooding. Therefore, it was necessary to present a sufficient BCP (Business Continuity Plan) to our customer, the automobile manufacturer, in preparation for potential river flooding." "The foldable water stop board F-shield is lighter than sandbags, making it easy to carry and set up. Unlike sandbags, there is no need for the cumbersome task of filling or emptying water; it can be easily set up and taken down by simply locking the fittings." "We have newly established a disaster prevention warehouse right next to the factory's main gate, where we store the foldable water stop board F-shield, ensuring that we can set it up immediately in case of an emergency." "By presenting a sufficient BCP (Business Continuity Plan) to our customer, the automobile manufacturer, in preparation for river flooding, we hope to earn their trust in our company."
