Muscle Wall can be deployed rapidly when time is short. With just a small team of people, a hundred feet of Muscle Wall can be fully deployed in as little as 30 minutes. If sandbags were to be used on that same scale it would take well over a day. Muscle Wall can even be deployed when floodwater has already began to rise. Each wall can be floated into place and sunk using the same water that the wall is protecting against.
One of the commonly overlooked expenses when it comes to flood damages is the loss of business continuity. Businesses must remain shut down while repairs are made or flood protection methods are cleaned up and removed. Muscle Wall, in one instance, was used to protect a three-story office building from floodwater, and as a result the office was able to be back up and running the very next day. Other buildings in the vicinity were out of commission for anywhere from a month to three months, costing the business owners thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
