WaterBlocks™ is a registered TradeMark and dba (alternate corporate identity) of Locking Line Barriers Corporation.
Locking Line Barriers is proud to introduce a revolutionary product line that's primed to set a new bar in large-scale flood protection, WaterBlocks™, along with our new Digital Barrier Sharing Network.
Flooding affects more and more Americans every year - and yet, we continue to rely on inadequate systems for managing, redirecting and stopping the onslaught of flood waters.
WaterBlocks™ are steel-reinforced, interconnecting plastic units that link together to create a watertight wall of protection. What makes WaterBlocks™ so special is their unique design, which allows them to be both rapidly-deployed and efficiently-assembled and removed.
WaterBlocks™ have many useful applications including crowd - traffic safety and control, construction site protection, natural resource conservation and more.
Looking ahead, Locking Line Barriers has also developed an integrated business model for long-term success and growth in our new Barrier Sharing Network, a forward-thinking solution that enables communities to have timely access to WaterBlocks™ on a cost-effective, as-needed basis.
Flooding strikes with little notice, but WaterBlocks™ empowers municipalities, governmental agencies and NGO's to be better equipped with a new Tool to protect lives, communities and our environment.
Invest in WaterBlocks™ dba Locking Line Barriers Corporation with confidence as we prepare to go to market with our revolutionary WaterBlocks™ product line and related services. Funds from this crowdfunding raise will be used to support inventory expansion, marketing, promotions, and product line sales at trade shows as well as promotional events with municipalities across the country.

Locking Line Barriers has secured the exclusive license to the Global Rights to Market, License and Distribute the WaterBlocks™ product line and related services. Which included the right to utilize the WaterBlocks™ trademark as an alternate corporate identity during the term of the license.
With over 100 years of combined experience in industrial manufacturing, construction, disaster response, damage control and logistical operations, we are poised to capitalize on the market viability of our superior flood barrier protection system.
In preparation to go to market, we've already gone to great lengths to execute an in-depth market research study as well as create a comprehensive WaterBlocks marketing and sales system for the Distribution, Sales & Sub-Licensing of WaterBlocks™ products and services.
We've also developed a forward-thinking community-driven 'Barrier Sharing Network' to provide for the efficient rental and rapid deployment of WaterBlocks™ systems - more on that below.
Looking ahead, our next major steps are as follows:
With your help, we'll be able to get there quicker - and WaterBlocks™ will too. Please read on to see how we're inventively using new technology to solve a major topical problem that affects us all.
You Don’t! All you can do is divert the flood waters elsewhere.
So what can stand between a community and a flood?
Flooding is a growing concern for millions of people and municipalities nationwide. Despite that, there haven't been any major enhancements to flood protection over the years, leaving us relegated to these basic tools:
concrete walls
jersey barriers
sandbags
anything else handy at the time
Fact is - once it starts raining, it's already too late. Communities need a faster, more reliable solution to this looming threat. Most all flood control tools currently available in the US are heavy, not easily moveable or deployable and typically permanent once constructed.
There are, of course, a number of existing plastic barriers on the market - however being designed for traffic safety and control, their uses are limited, rendering them useless for flood control or liquid overflow management.
Over the past three years we have had extensive discussions with municipalities and various governmental agencies reflecting a common theme professed by all: an additional source of flood barrier supply and support is neededOur communities' needs can't just rely on FEMA, NGO’s and the occasional local vendor.
The incredible demand and outstanding need for new and improved flood protection systems is evidenced by the US Army Corps of Engineers’ recent inquiry to Locking Line Barriers which read as follows:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking System for Award Management (SAM) Database registered businesses that can provide temporary perimeter flood barriers in the event of a flood emergency... Particularly:
"the purpose of this NOTICE is to gain knowledge of potential sources that have the ability to provide temporary perimeter flood barriers that meet the following requirements:
End Notice.
In response to the unresolved need for new and improved flood protection systems, Locking Line Barriers proudly introduces WaterBlocks™ to the Army Corps of Engineers - and the world at-large.
WaterBlocks™ are our proprietary line of steel-reinforced plastic polyethylene blocks which link and lock together using magnetic vinyl seals to create a rapidly-deployable plastic wall of watertight protection that prevents liquid penetration at the joints, provides a dry side of protection and diverts the flow of flood water and other fluids.
Since disaster response calls for fast action, we've also ingeniously designed our lightweight blocks to fit together both when deployed and during shipping - so that an entire fleet of WaterBlocks™ may be rapidly-deployed via semi-trailer trucks.
A detailed product explanation video.
WaterBlocks™ have been strategically designed in modular fashion for efficient shipping and minimizing storage space when not in use.
Interlocking and able to be configured any number of ways, each of LLB's WaterBlocks™ has a footprint of less than 4'x4' and the ability to flex up to 15-degrees in either direction at the joints to provide a wall that curves based on natural changes to the landscape.
Individual WaterBlocks™ weigh approximately 50 pounds when empty, so units may be easily carried, placed and configured by a single person. On the other hand, once automatically filled with flood water, the weight of each WaterBlocks™ swells to a mighty 1,766 pounds - making it a formidable barrier between what's wet and what's dry.
Just look at what can fit inside a single semi-trailer truck:
That's 416 linear feet of heavy-duty, customizable protection packed in a 53' trailer! And while that's a standard configuration, any grouping of barriers may be accommodated as the need arises.
WaterBlocks™ Key Features:
For keeping flood water out
For re-directing flood water as needed
WaterBlocks™ have been designed to provide a rapidly-deployable, watertight line of protection against rising flood water. During the past three years of WaterBlocks™ research and development, the product has been modified and enhanced several times to expand its uses and overall value.
The team at LLB is always striving to provide the very best product and marketable solution. We've already incorporated numerous design enhancements and improvements to expand the versatility, function and range of applications for WaterBlocks™. And while the main focus of WaterBlocks™ is and will continue to be to provide superior flood protection, our ingenious line of products may also be utilized for a wide range of other uses.
Today, Locking Line Barriers offers a multi-use product line with the versatility and features capable of providing unique solutions in multiple markets.
Insertable fence posts for additional height & security
For protection & conservation of water and/or other natural resources
Strong, mobile protection from flood water & other threats
The standard width of a street in the USA is 29' curb to curb.
Double-stacked 4' wide x 8' tall x 28' long (21 barriers) = approximately 34,700 lbs. of protective stopping power!
In addition to fine-tuning a range of extended applications for WaterBlocks™, the Locking Line Barriers team has also designed, developed and filed for patent-protection for a new function of WaterBlocks™ as Truck Blockade Walls, we call it the TruckCrusher! configuration.
When double-stacked together, WaterBlocks™ can be configured to stop a rubber-tired vehicle in its tracks. For example, a direct hit from a semi-trailer truck with 20-tons worth of cargo will result in less than ~20-feet of wall movement with the wall of water-filled blocks collapsing around the vehicle and mitigating the force of any exploding shrapnel in the event of a weaponized vehicle terrorist attack.
Such applications make WaterBlocks™ particularly marketable to municipalities, public organizations and private companies executing large-scale events with large crowd attendance.
To barricade a standard 29' wide street, 21 WaterBlocks™ can be double-stacked to create a wall that's 28-feet long, 8-feet high and 4-feet wide.
When filled, each WaterBlock™ has an estimated impact resistance of 5,000 pounds, giving the double-stacked wall a combined estimated 100,000-pound impact resistance. There isn't a rubber-tired vehicle in existence able to penetrate a WaterBlocks™ TruckCrusher!
Locking Line Barriers is currently seeking grants from both the Homeland Security Department and the Department of Defense to fund a physical test of this new added feature.
Flooding is a unique disaster in terms of how quickly it strikes - with little notice for preparation. Thousands of Americans across the country have felt the devastating effects of floods and the pain they cause.
Communities under the threat of floods are begging to be better prepared with adequate barrier protection. With our rigorous background in industrial manufacturing, construction and logistical operations, we've gone ahead and envisioned an innovative, forward-thinking solution - the Barrier Sharing Network (think Uber like).
The Barrier Sharing Network is a system whereby WaterBlocks™ can be rapidly transported on short notice as a cost-effective response to pending flood threats - anywhere in the US. Because when it comes to mitigating flood damage and destruction, large quantities of barriers that can be delivered on short notice is key.
We anticipate that our primary stage objectives around the sale of WaterBlocks™ themselves will generate the revenue necessary to support our continued future growth.
The establishment of the Barrier Sharing Network offers WaterBlocks a sustainable, long-term (20+ years) source of revenue and ever-expanding rental and licensing opportunities.
The Barrier Sharing Network is an intangible asset consisting of the software platform (not yet built) - which may ultimately be patentable in its own right - and management thereof.
Since each WaterBlock™ is equipped with an RFID Chip for easy inventory tracking and every LLB Trailer is GPS-enabled, the Barrier Sharing Network presents a nationwide network of readily-available WaterBlocks™ inventory that can be rapidly-deployed to communities in need when flooding strikes.
Locking Line Barriers will seek to secure sponsorship from major corporations, governmental bodies, private foundations and non-profit organizations to underwrite the initial manufacturing and acquisition costs of large numbers of truckloads. This initial inventory base will provide thousands of linear feet of WaterBlocks™ Barriers that can be instantly assigned, transported and deployed to participating municipalities, counties and states in need of flood protection or any other WaterBlocks™ application.
Knowing the importance of branding when it comes to securing major sponsorships, is why Locking Line Barriers has built-in a way for sponsor corporations, organizations and agencies to be recognized for their support of the Barrier Sharing Network.
LLB incentivizes sponsorship by offering sponsors the opportunity to brand WaterBlocks™ within the Barrier Sharing Network by permanently molding the brand's logo and messaging into the front-facing plastic wall of each unit they purchase or donate.
- The Denver Post
To examine the current market viability of WaterBlocks™, Locking Line Barriers commissioned a detailed study looking at the market acceptance, need and overall demand for rapidly-deployable flood protection and multi-use barrier systems. Additional focus was spent on means of access including whether the assets are rented through a web-based asset and cost-sharing network rather than outright purchased per standard convention.
Since the WaterBlocks™ target market is the emergency authorities and responders of municipalities, government agencies and NGO’s, research consisted of a nationwide sampling of 36 randomly-selected jurisdictions.
Our research resulted in these key findings:
Market need & demand for flood barriers far exceeds the current availability of a sufficient supply
Until WaterBlocks™ are brought to market, the need & demand will remain unfulfilled for the foreseeable future
It would take more than 800 Truckloads of WaterBlocks™ (806 to be exact, with 63.5 miles of barriers) to fulfill the demand for flood barrier systems - and that's just for the 36 respondents surveyed.
At the currently-discounted MSRP cost of $130,000/truckload, LLB sales would be $104,780,000 for the 36 respondents polled so far.
Since the market will quickly absorb at least 100 truckloads of WaterBlocks™ in the pilot phase, our research indicates that every effort should be made to grow the inventory of the Barrier Sharing Network.
With our extensive background in construction, the market viability of the WaterBlocks™ product line in this industry is undeniable.
Regulations require every construction site have a safety and security fence bordering the location. Most are weakly-constructed out of chain-link fence, plywood and sometimes plastic, ultimately to be destroyed upon completion of the job. WaterBlocks™ may be used as a cost-effective alternative that can be assembled, removed and reused quickly and efficiently while providing an enhanced level of protection, safety and security.
In addition, drillers in the petroleum industry have also communicated a unique need for WaterBlocks™ as a means of water handling and storage. Since fracking uses water that must be transported in and out of the site on a daily basis, the WaterBlocks™ product line can reduce related costs while providing numerous other solutions to the process by enabling the mobile handling and storage of water virtually anywhere.
We believe the petroleum industry to be a major market for Locking Line Barriers.
We intend to formulate a worldwide licensing program that enables WaterBlocks™ - or a variant thereof - to be sold and distributed overseas.
In fact, we have already received licensing inquiries from Mexico and Holland, however our primary objectives at this time are product sales and the
establishment of the Barrier Sharing Network (BSN) in the United States.
LLB initial sales efforts are focused on six key target markets:
We estimate that $1 trillion is held by the more than 80,000 non-profit organizations that fall under 501c3 status in the US. NOTE: this is our estimate of the potential participants from the global group as reported in the chart.
With this in mind, we have also established an agreement with the Disaster Support Foundation (DSF), a 501c3 non-profit who will seek grants and donations to acquire and provide WaterBlocks™ for the Barrier Sharing Network for a share of the revenue. This relationship provides potential charitable sponsors with the opportunity to leverage tax-deductible donations for positive social impact affecting countless communities nationwide.
As a Service-Disabled US Veteran-Owned Business, making Locking Line Barriers Corporation eligible for 'Contract Set-a-Sides' for our products and services with federal government agencies.
The Army Corps of Engineers recently put out a Request For Proposals; inquiring as to the availability of 'rapidly-deployable flood control barriers.'
A proposal in this regard has already submitted and put us in a unique position to capitalize on the opportunity once the first line of WaterBlocks™ demo units have been manufactured.
We wish to sincerely Thank our SPONSORS for their part in providing the Perks for this offering.
Locking Line Barriers has the power to market a revolutionary new product with incredible demand and virtually no competition that not only generates revenue and profits, but also saves lives, communities and our environment.
