Covid – 19 Compliance Resource From Big Bags USA

In these uncertain times, there is one thing that remains, and that is our commitment to providing the best flood barriers on the market. Rain or shine, health, or pandemic, there is still an element of mystery as flooding can surprise any area in our nation. This is a letter that was put together by our very own Tom Spalj in regards to the COVID situation and the unique position that our business and product hold through these times. Take a few moments to read through this letter as well as the resources he has provided. We are honored to be serving our nation during this time with the best flood barrier on the market.

Good Afternoon Partners in Public Safety and Construction Field Work –

I hope this finds you all well. I am reaching out today not only as water diversion/flood barrier resource but as a business owner in a time that is uncertain for all of us. I have been working closely with local and state governments to stay on top of all the policies, procedures, and general health and safety concerns that have been brought on by this pandemic.

After weeding through all the documents and information that has been flooding in I was able to find a select few that not only helped me and my business stay up to date but I am sure will help you and yours as well.

All of these links have been validated and the information verified by my local government connections. It was also suggested that these links be shared with my contacts (you) to help alleviate any questions you may currently have.

Please keep in mind that our Big Bags USA, 5- connected bulk bag system product has been coined “Covid-19 Compliant” and “Social Distancing Friendly” as it allows for people to stay at least 6’ apart and requires less than 3 people to complete the installation.

About the Big Bags USA Flood Barrier System

Big Bags USA protective flood barrier systems consist of five, one cubic yard sandbags. The dimensions of the system are 40” in height, 36” in width and 180” in length. The lightweight expandable accordion-like, sandbags flood barrier enables one laborer to easily move the systems into position while using a minimum of storage. Every individual one cubic yard sandbag is comprised of a woven high strength Polypropylene. Our polypropylene sandbags offer the highest in UV protection and an impenetrable woven waterside, protecting sand from contamination. The result is a greater spectrum of end-use of your resources. Every flood barrier has a fill capacity of 2,700-3,400 lbs. depending on moisture and clay content of the sand. The sandbags themselves and the utility loops have been rated at 4,400 lbs. leaving plenty of space for marginal variables. One five bag flood barrier system filled and deployed will weigh up to 17,000 lbs., considerably less than the 20,520 - 25,840 lbs. of a conventional sandbag barrier of the same dimensions. The principal concept of Big Bags USA flood barrier systems is the ground conforming sandbags method without the “dead space” of conventional sandbags barriers.
