The Big Bags USA system

Always Ready to Help Local, State, and Federal Agencies!


Big Bags USA system

Big Bags USA is a system of  5 heavy duty cubic yard bags, connected to form one unit. Each unit can be connected to one another to reach any desired length or height and remain open for filling.  This allows for rapid response and a single system is 3' wide, 15' long and 40" tall, forming a wall in just a few minutes by 2 men. One system is equal to over 750 regular sandbags and are filled in place in less than 10 minutes.

Deployment

Depending on deployment, the bags can be filled using any type of equipment: skid steers, back hoes, front end loaders, conveyor belt trucks, crane booms, and even cement mixers with the correct slurry. Simple and fast deployments are the core of effectiveness for the Big Bags USA barriers.

Easy to Move

Big Bags USA System can be used ANYWHERE

The systems can effectively be used most anywhere. The flexible design of no rigid bottom structure allows the Big Bags USA sandbags to conform to any sub-surface, making a water-tight seal.  Thus, wherever a protective flood barrier is needed, tops of levees, in the streets, surrounding a building, sides of hills, over sewers, Big Bags USA sandbags can adapt to the topography.  The system can also be used to ad extra levels to levees giving you the best defense where the most water pressure will be located.

Big Bags USA flood barrier can be placed at any angle required and can be used around corners.  When the systems are ‘snugged’ up against each other prior to filling, a water-tight seal is created.  Encircling an area, equipment, buildings is a strategic way to utilize the flood barrier system if flood waters cannot be stopped or diverted in a given area.

Big Bags USA system will last

Big Bags USA has a great life span of 25 years stored inside, or up to 4 years outside after they are filled. Big Bags USA will last over 2200 hours of direct sunlight which will allow you to use them over and over again. We recommend keeping the fill material inside of the bags and use them for other projects or flood protection needs. Please ask us how to do this.

Keep reading to learn more about hyrophobic soils and why people in California and other wildfire prone areas need to be prepared and have flood protection on hand.
