Rubena supplies rubber dams to Africa

ERJ staff report (DS)

Zlin, Czech Republic -- Last year, in its first-ever supply of rubber dams to the African continent, Rubena supplied two sections of rubber dams to Algiers.

The inflatable dams help create a self-regulating water reservoir on the watercourse of the Sebgad river for irrigation of agricultural land in the areas below the dam. The overall dam is 50 meters wide and 3 meters high (holding over 5 million m3 of water) does not disrupt the character of the landscape with high, aboveground structures and has no negative impact on the environment.

Rubena said it is the world leader on the market of rubberised fabric products. The Rubena bag dam, as a modern type of movable and fully automated structure used for raising water levels, is a product with a high multi-functional use value.
