Best for: Emergency and planned flood barriers where local sand or aggregate is available and the barrier has to be built with the plant already on site.

/ Overview & Principle

HOW THIS BAG IS BUILT

An open-top body in heavy woven PP, with the mouth held open by a stiffened hem so a loader can fill it without a second pair of hands. Four corner loops are bar-tacked into the top seam for crane or forklift lifting, and the base is a reinforced flat closure that takes the abrasion of being dragged into place.

Because the bag is filled with local material, the specified fill weight decides the fabric weight and the loop rating; the same body is built in a range of sizes rather than one standard.

Operational summary:

A heavy woven open-top bag filled on site with local sand or aggregate and lifted into a temporary barrier.

/ Features

KEY DESIGN ADVANTAGES.

Filled where the barrier is needed

Only the empty bags are shipped, so the weight that has to be moved to site is a fraction of the finished barrier.

Open mouth for a loader

A stiffened hem keeps the mouth open while a telehandler or excavator drops material in, which is what makes filling fast on site.

Lifted by the equipment on hand

Loops are rated and bar-tacked for the crane or forklift the buyer actually has, rather than for a plant overhead crane.

Built to the fill weight confirmed for the project, typically in the 1,000-2,000 kg range per filled bag, with loop rating and fabric weight following that figure rather than a catalogue standard.

Where it is not the answer

The bag is only as good as the fill: a sharp, wet or frozen fill material loads the fabric and the seams differently from dry sand, so the fill weight has to be confirmed before the fabric is specified. A bag filled…

CUSTOM CONFIGURATIONS & SIZING.

Size: 80 x 80 x 80 cm to 100 x 100 x 100 cm (typical) Set by the barrier height and the fill the site can handle per lift.

Fabric: 200 to 250 GSM heavy woven PP Fill weight and abrasiveness decide the fabric weight; coating is added only where the fill is wet.

Top: Open top with stiffened hem, or open top with attached lid A stiffened hem holds the mouth open for a loader; a lid is added where material has to be kept dry.

Handling: Four corner loops, cross-corner loops, or loop plus crane sling points Loop rating follows the equipment on the buyer's site.

PERFORMANCE, TESTING & LIMITS.

1. Performance & working envelope

Rated range	Built to the fill weight confirmed for the project, typically in the 1,000-2,000 kg range per filled bag, with loop rating and fabric weight following that figure rather than a catalogue standard.

2. How it is validated

Testing	Each production run is checked for fabric weight, seam and loop strength and finished dimensions, and first-piece and final inspection are recorded against the order.

3. Limits

Where it is not the answer	The bag is only as good as the fill: a sharp, wet or frozen fill material loads the fabric and the seams differently from dry sand, so the fill weight has to be confirmed before the fabric is specified. A bag filled beyond the stated weight voids the claim.

Selection & Purchasing Guidance

Best For:: Emergency and planned flood barriers where local sand or aggregate is available and the barrier has to be built with the plant already on site.
Consider Alternatives When:: The barrier has to be reusable, filled at a plant and delivered full, or where the fill material is fine or sharp enough to need a liner.
Must Confirm Before Quoting:: Fill material and target fill weight, the lifting equipment on site, barrier geometry, and how long the filled bags sit in the open.
