What Makes Big Bags USA Flood Barriers So Unique

Flooding is not a one size fits all situation. There are many different causes and solutions that must be taken into account as a community makes plans for their flood barrier solutions. At Big Bags USA, we realize that your town will have specific needs when it comes to flooding protection, which is why our flood barriers have been created to uniquely solve your situation. Here are a few reasons why we think you will appreciate having the versatility of the Big Bags Flood Barriers and how we can help.

Fast Deployment Flood Barriers

One thing that sets the Big Bags USA® Flood Barriers apart is that they are deployed quickly. In fact, one system can be placed by two men in less than 10 minutes! That's equal to 15 lineal feet every 10 minutes. There's no other sandbag deployment method that equals the speed in which Big Bags USA® flood barriers can be placed. You definitely can't place the equivalent in traditional sandbags that quickly. When compared to traditional sandbags, our systems are 200 times faster to deploy. No other system is a versatile and user friendly as ours!

Save Labor Costs

Our sandbags aren’t just easy to deploy, they are easy on your budget. They are so easy to deploy that you won’t need to hire a bunch of labor. Training and organization of labor is greatly reduced using the Big Bags USA® barrier compared to conventional sandbags. Depending on how large of a barrier wall you need and how quickly you need to get it deployed, you could essentially do it with just two men. Heavy equipment that is normally used to fill the bags is Front End Loaders, Skid Steers, Backhoes, Side Dump Trucks, Cement Trucks (with a slurry of sand and water), and Concrete Conveyor belt Trucks. You need one man to operate the equipment while the other makes sure the bags are placed correctly for filling.

Cost-Effective Flood Barriers

While the benefits of using Big Bags USA® flood barrier systems are wide and varied, the most notable one is price comparison. Big Bags USA® protective flood barriers' simplistic design allows more systems to be deployed by fewer workers using less training and natural resources than sandbags. Effectively utilizing a smaller unskilled labor force creates a larger margin in budgeting and flood mitigation compared to a conventional sandbag barrier. In addition, only about half the amount of sand used with a typical sandbag barrier wall is needed when you use the Big Bags USA® system. One Big Bags USA® protective flood barrier system replaces 750 regular sandbags. If you were to stack regular sandbags to meet 40” in height, it would be equal to 1500 sandbags. By using the Big Bags USA® systems, you save 52% on the raw materials alone.


The list goes on, but our flood barriers are consistently the best on the market. Not only because of the points that we listed above but because in this day and age, with the threat of a global pandemic hovering over our heads, our flood barriers allow for social distancing. 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.

If your community is looking for a safe and effective flood barrier on all levels - look no further. You can purchase our flood barriers directly from our company or through Schedule 84.
