PCFD New custom tanker leak seal air bag.
« on: March 09, 2009, 05:54:48 »
As hinted in my other custom rescue air bag debut, this is the new custom tanker leak seal air bag being used on a derailed train tanker car. It attaches to the systems couplings just as the other air bags, & when inflated causes a pressurized patch to seal a rip or tear that may have been sustained during an accident. The other pictures show the HAZ MAT containment teams using the new TJW Industries custom hydraulic rescue tools.

And another view.

Another view.


The control team listening to the direction team, & increasing the pressure to seal the leak as needed.


Another view.


And another view.

Great piece of work, Bill, and excellent photos of it in use.  The straps holding it in place are interesting - are they also custom?

Thank you Gordon! Yes, the straps are custom. I started with decorating ribbon cut it to the desired length, folded the ends, & hot glued them with the rings in position. I used fishing line swivels to make the straps easier to work with.
