Big Bags USA Flood Barriers Put to the Test in St. Joseph

Big Bags USA always loves hearing success stories and we want to share one particular one with you! Back in 2011, the City of St. Joseph used our flood barriers to close a levee and save the Artesian Ice building from flooding.  They used approximately 25 of our systems compared to needing 122 thousand regular sandbags.  The railroad came in, lifted up their tracks and the Department of Public Works was able to place our Big Bags USA systems in two hours time!


They have loved our systems ever since!  Dave Hancock of our Big Bags USA team, who spoke with the Department of Public Works in St. Joseph, said they spoke very highly of our flood barrier systems and are making sure that they have enough in stock should another high water event happen. They said they were completely satisfied with the system and would recommend it to anyone.  We are proud to be a part of their flood protection plans for many many years to come.  Take a look below at how easy the process was for them...you too could help protect your city with our sandbag alternatives!


Here they are removing one bag at a time, cutting the bottoms of the bags over a dump truck.  This is a fast and efficient way to clean up.  What does the clean up for your barrier require?  I bet it's not as fast or easy as the clean up for Big Bags USA Flood Barriers!


Big Bags USA is designed for the highest demands without straining labor or resources, saving you time and money.  They systems can be used almost anywhere and can be used around corners, placed on levees and more!  Big Bags USA is a rapid deployment barrier, an alternative to sandbags. We are pioneering ideas in disaster prevention and sandbag replacement that are fast, reliable and easy to integrate.
