Voted Calgary villain again this year, Paul Vickers is very used to negative press. Bringing clubs like Cowboys to the scene has not always made him the most favorable man in Calgarians eyes. Now it seems, Paul Vickers is saving the marshlands of the southern United States.
Mr. Vickers owns a company called US Flood Control that produces a product called a Tiger Dam. These dams are simular to sandbags but are filled with high pressure water and are easier to assemble and use. They are also anchored with long helix bits so they can withstand some pretty bad weather conditions.
Normally put in place for dam protection and flood control, Paul Vickers pitched the idea to BP oil and almost instantly had himself a 10 million dollar contract. The national guard has offered employees and a pitch on fox news urged for recruitment. The state of Louisiana was kind enough to lend some of their tiger dam to BP oil and it seems like everyone is willing to pitch in.
How did a club guru come up with such industrial technology? He bought it off of a Manitoba man when the company was in bankruptcy, moved the company to the southern United States and opened a plant in Louisiana. Now he’s laughing all the way to the bank. One companies national disaster is anothers financial gain.
