Section 1: Alexandria, Virginia Flood Prone Area
Alexandria, VA is a key area of our nation’s
capital. Currently, the critical area depicted on
this map has no means of protection and when flooded, the damages incurred will be in the
millions. If a flood occurs similar to the magnitude of
the 2008 Cedar Rapids, Iowa flood, the extent of
the damages for Alexandria will exceed
this critical area and be in the billions of dollars. This catastrophic event
could potentially cripple the nation’s capital.
They currently have no flood
protection!http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://alexandriava.gov/uploadedImages/tes/info/studyarea.jpg&imgrefurl=http://alexandriava.gov/WorkArea/linkit.aspx%3FLinkIdentifier%3Did%26ItemID%3D3530&usg=__GgJ1urFI3Ytd7_-ROfWD4oWzeMM=&h=743&w=568&sz=334&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=sYugQ0f_PANrNM:&tbnh=141&tbnw=108&prev=/images%3Fq%3DPotomac%2BWaterfront%2BFlood%2BMitigation%2BStudy%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DG%26um%3D1

This modified levee system will contain 70-80% of the flooding activity. The remaining 20-30% will be contained by implementing the immediately deployable “That Dam Thing™” flood wall. In addition to the health and wellness benefits of the bike-walk / park, the park will also be an area where residents can relax and enjoy themselves through the beauty of the waterfront and park combination. The retrofit of existing communities where the, modified levee cannot be installed, will minimize construction and disruption of the retrofitted community by using the existing draining schematics and existing waterfront streets and/or parking lots as the deployment area.

Section 5: Engineering and R&DWhat differentiates “That Dam Thing™” flood wall from other flood fighting structures?
•“That Dam Thing™” flood wall was engineered to use the weight of the water as the integral mechanism of the flood wall.
• The flow of water onto the vinyl foot print creates the weight needed to secure TDT to the ground.
•The rear wall angular gusset protects the airbladder from debris.
•TDT is made of military grade, UV-protected; polyester reinforced scrim, bacteria static, 18 mil. recyclable PVC vinyl. (The 6-ft. and 8-ft. tall flood walls will be constructed from 24 mil. material).
•The double interlocking sealed zipper technology provides a water-tight hinge between each section.
• The hinge joint provides TDT the flexibility needed in order to adapt to changing deployment configurations.
• The ability to interconnect different height walls compensates for differing topographies and helps facilitate our immediate deployment method.
Section 5: Engineering and R&DDevelopmental Status:•“That Dam Thing™” 2-ft. and 4-ft. tall flood walls have been successfully tested at our facility in Baltimore, MD.
• 80% of the floods in the US are 3-ft or less
•“That Dam Thing™” flood wall is currently patent-pending.
•TDT Solutions, Inc. is currently searching for an accredited program or flood prone community that is willing and technically/financially capable of working with us to construct an outdoor testing facility for the testing and accreditation of our modified levee system.
• US Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center is not equipped to properly test all advantages of the TDT Solution and the “That Dam Thing™” flood wall, i.e.: no fixed fortifications, no un-even topography, no trees, lighting/pumping standards.
•Testing of the “That Dam Thing™” 6-ft. tall flood wall is currently entering its developmental phases.
Technical Team’s Background:•50 years combined experience of mechanical and civil engineering•3 years design and manufacturing experience of portable flood walls•Patent application experience
• Mr. Bernard Salemie is a successful patent recipient of the USA on his Heat-Differential Motor granted in 1999
Section 6: Operations/Manufacturing

Solution modified levee and retrofit system is in the US.• Reason: Create American jobs, promote economic
stimulus, diversify the industrial market place of Baltimore City, and remain true to a “Made in America” product
• Quality Assurance:• Every product is tested for manufacturer’s defects
before it leaves the warehouse.• Testing involves: Rear wall air bag sustainability,
welds and joints are successful, sections are appropriate in length, light standards and pumps are engineered per specifications, and modified levee system is constructed per design.
Section 6: Operations/Manufacturing Cont’d• Distribution Strategy:
• The TDT Solution modified levee and retro fit system will be designed, engineered, and constructed based on the water level rise study.
• Partial distribution of the items above will be performed by third party contractors and strategically managed by TDT Solutions, Inc.
• "That Dam Thing™" will be delivered as a turn-key package in a covered TDT trailer. This trailer serves as the shipping, storage, and deployment vessel.
