Abstract:
Flexible containment tubes form sections of a dike for fluid containment. Structural supports are inserted into the flexible contain tubes and the tube sealed to form structure supported dike sections. For example, a supporting structure may be configured with a given length and cross sectional diameter to provide structural support to a vinyl-coated polyester tube with a 12-36 inch diameter. The structure is sealed within the tube and, in turn, the tube may be filled with a fluid such as water to create structure supported containment dike. The length of the supporting structure may be selected based on the width of an entryway to create structure supported dike section of a give length that provide a seal across the entryways against floodwaters.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for mitigating flood damage, the method comprising:\n adjusting a length of a supporting structure based on a width of an entryway; adjusting a cross sectional perimeter of a supporting structure based on a circumference of a flexible containment tube; sealing the supporting structure within the flexible containment tube to form a structure supported dike section; positioning the structure supported dike section within the entryway; and filling the structure support dike section with a filling fluid to laterally expand the flexible containment tube within the width of the entryway and form a seal with at least one edge of the entryway.
