Ways to Use Big Bags USA® - Part 1

Big Bags USA Flood Barriers are an innovative solution to a huge problem. Flooding occurs every single year across the nation. It’s caused by many different types of occurrences, both weather-related, and often times from failures due to man-made sources. The devastation that can be caused from a single flood is incredible, but it’s also heartbreaking to watch. This is what drove us to create the Big Bags Flood Barrier. Our system was made to be easy to afford, fast to deploy, and easy to save for the next time. Here are several ways you can use Big Bags flood barriers, and how they can make all of the difference in your situation.


Flood Control

This is one of the most common and popular uses for our easy deploy flood barriers. From the 2019 spring floods to the hurricanes on the East coast, our barriers are seen across the nation helping to control floodwaters. This could mean that we are protecting buildings from the water with these barriers, or even roads. Flood control can be a huge issue, and our barriers make it easy to divert water and protect many different areas.

Stream Diversion

Stream and water diversion can be a valuable tool. The definition is to create a temporary channel or pipe to convey the stream flow around a construction site. The purpose is to maintain stream flows and water quality while providing a dry work area. Big Bags USA makes this an easy task because our barriers are so fast and easy to install. If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to divert a stream - we have it!

Cofferdams

A cofferdam is a structure that retains water and soil so that the area enclosed can be pumped out and excavated dry. These are most common for the construction of bridge piers and other support structures built within the water. Cofferdams can be extremely expensive to construct, but depending on your needs, Big Bags USA could be the perfect solution. Visit our website to learn more about how to use our barriers as cofferdams.

Erosion Control (Coastal, Railroads, Soil)

Erosion is the process of soil, rock, and other particles moving from a location by wind and or water. Erosion control can be extremely important because erosion will affect wildlife, public and private property, and contribute to pollution. Erosion control is also important on a job site because excess dirt, construction materials, chemicals, and the pollutants will be carried into a runoff if proper steps aren’t taken. Big Bags USA can be a helpful solution to erosion issues.

Secondary Containment Barrier for Hazardous Spills

It’s important to use very specific materials for spill containment, and while Big Bags USA isn’t suited for direct containment, it can be the perfect solution for secondary containment. The purpose of secondary containment is to be there if the primary container fails. It must be able to hold the entire volume that could spill until it can be cleaned up.

Understanding Hydrophobic Soils

Image
Last year, California saw what has been considered the worst wildfire season on record! Unfortunately, those wildfires aren't the only thing people in those areas of California need to be concerned with. Those wildfires lead to what is known as "hydrophobic soils," which can lead to flooding and mud flows. 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. Hydrophobic Soils  Hydrophoic soils are just what they sound like, soils that "fear" water. This condition causes water to collect on the surface rather than infiltrate into the ground. The main cause of hydrophobic soils is wildfires. These soils are created when hydrocarbon residue is created after organic material is burnt. That then soaks into empty pore spaces in the soils, making it impervious to water. While this condition is temporary, it can increase water repellency, surface runof...
