A company founded by Georgia Tech students is pioneering a new model for helping rural communities in developing countries maintain — and sustain — water security.
When the city of Diego de Almagro's water system was destroyed by landslides and floods in 2015 — leaving more than 15,000 people without potable drinking water — the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Embassy in Chile contracted with TOHL to install and deploy its mobile infrastructure solutions.

Tubing Operations for Human Logistics (TOHL) is a company originally founded by Georgia Tech students to transport water to isolated populations during disaster situations.
Inspired by the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the students came up with an efficient, less costly solution using a patented process that employs flexible tubing and a helicopter.
