Oversized Sand-Filled Flood Bag Barriers
Protect Your Property From Flood Damage
The Bag barrier is a unique flood control system that is ideal for protection of important property and infrastructure.
The Bag barrier is a concertina style, big bag, flood barrier consisting of a heavy duty oversized bag, divided into 5 distinct chambers. Use sand or other aggregate or fill material to fill bags and to create a heavy duty levee to hold back water.
Bags ship flattened on pallets, ready to be opened, positioned and filled on site. Each bag is 15ft long, 3ft deep, and 40” high and replaces approximately 750 standard sandbags. Because there’s no wasted space, Barriers use roughly 1/2 the amount of sand required for an equivalent sandbag barrier and significantly less labor to position and fill.
Bag barriers can be installed and filled by a relatively small crew and deployed quickly in advance of an expected flood.
