  5. St. Paul Downtown Airport, St. Paul, MN

  6. How does the IFCW work? • Base plate embeds are sunk deep into a poured concrete foundation. • The anchored embeds secure vertical parting support posts.

  7. How does the IFCW work? • When wall is down, nothing but the storage bolts are visible. • Storage bolts are either headed or headless, depending on access requirements.

  8. How does the IFCW work? • Vertical parting supports are lifted into place, and anchor bolts are secured into embeds • In a typical installation, 3 workers can erect 1200 sq. ft. in 2 hours

  9. How does the IFCW work? • Unique base planks are fitted with specialized gaskets, and orient the wet/dry side. • Gaskets are on dry side, so planks fill during flooding, increasing stability and integrity

  10. How does the IFCW work? • The patented plank design features a tongue and groove system • Side thrust resistant

  11. How does the IFCW work? • Extruded aluminum planks simply stack vertically • Planks weigh 5 lbs/lf, easily handled by two people • No cranes or heavy machinery required for typical erection

  12. Multi-plank installation

  13. How does the IFCW work? • Compression channels attached to posts are ratcheted into set position, forcing the plank face into tight contact with the vertical seal.

  14. How does the IFCW work? • Hold-down clamps are used to squeeze the planks against each other, sealing the system horizontally

  15. How does the IFCW work? • For an IFCW™ over 6' in height, diagonal braces are positioned on both intermediate and parting supports • A pin connected floating foot is threaded to accept the tension rod for adjusting the parting supports.

  16. How does the IFCW work? • Wall dimensions – 3500 lineal feet, 8 - 10 ft. high

  17. How does the IFCW work? • The installation includes several corner post installations

  18. How does the IFCW work? • The installation includes several corner post installations

  19. How does the IFCW work? does the IFCW work? • Project also includes specially designed half wall area

  20. How is the IFCW stored? • The easy stacked and palletization of IFCW components translates to minimal storage requirements • Warehouse requires only cover, heat is unnecessary

  21. How is the IFCW stored? • The easy stacked and palletization of IFCW components translates to minimal storage requirements • Warehouse requires only cover, no heat

  22. East Grand Forks, MN • East Grand Forks riverfront attracted huge commercial investment, including an Applebees and a multi-million dollar Cabellas • Not there if a 10 ft. concrete flood wall was there

  23. East Grand Forks, MN • East Grand Forks riverfront attracted huge commercial investment, including an Applebees and a multi-million dollar Cabellas • Not there if a 10 ft. concrete flood wall was there

  24. Flood Proofing • IFCW is perfect for flood proofing manufacturing, industrial, and office facilities

  26. Flood Proofing • IFCW is perfect for flood proofing manufacturing, industrial, and office facilities

  27. Flood Proofing • IFCW is perfect for flood proofing manufacturing, industrial, and office facilities

  28. Closures • IFCW is easily used as a closure system • Road closures, access closures, and rail closures

  29. Closures • IFCW is easily used as a closure system • Road closures, access closures, and rail closures

  30. Closures • IFCW is easily used as a closure system • Road closures, access closures, and rail closures

  31. Closures • IFCW is easily used as a closure system • Road closures, access closures, and rail closures

  32. Cantilevered Struts • IFCW system can include cantilevered struts in tight areas where standard angle struts will not work

  33. Bulkheads • IFCW can accommodate bulkhead areas using poured or bolt-on channels

  34. The American Advantage • Buy American…For Americans • FCA is a 100-year domestic supplier • All designs in code with ASCE and USCOE design manuals • Over 200 sites across the country, many COE and FEMA sites
