The Invisible Flood Control Wall (IFCW™) is a removable floodwall that is erected only when flood waters threaten. Once the flood recedes, the wall packs neatly away, leaving a riverfront view without obstruction. The Invisible Flood Control Wall is in extensive use, with over 175 installations across the United States.

The IFCW™ has been analyzed and accepted for use by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, and is installed on a half dozen Corps of Engineers projects. The IFCW™ meets all U.S. Army Corps of Engineers criteria for floodwalls, yet unlike traditional C.O.E. floodwall solutions, the Invisible Flood Control Wall™ keeps the beauty of the riverfront setting intact rather than blighting the area with a permanent concrete wall or earthen levee.

Where: St. Paul, MN

What: The FCA project at Holman Field is reportedly the largest removable flood wall installation in the world.

When: Winter 2009

"It's not just a big cement wall when you're coming into town. The wall has a nice design, and is relatively simple to put up." - Mayor Cliff Barth, Breckenridge, Minnesota
