Fastest Deployed Flood Barrier!

Flooding is a dangerous event that can happen without warning, making it essential that you have flood preparation plans in place before the threat arises. Keeping this in mind, Big Bags USA developed a rapid deployment barrier system that is suited to deploy at record speeds with minimal manpower. Providing communities prone to flooding with a reliable source of flood mitigation.




Rapid Deployment

Big Bags USA protective flood barrier systems are ground conforming and therefore have the ability to be deployed on terrain that is uneven or unleveled with negligible preparations. The protective flood barrier system is well suited for corner and curved deployments. The systems are stackable directly on top of each other two systems tall, for higher stacking the pyramid method is advised. In environments that are unreachable with standard equipment, Big Bags USA flood barrier systems are liftable for safe and effective deployment using our spreader bar.

Necessary equipment for any deployment of the Big Bags USA barriers is cordless screw guns and ¾”-1 1/2” wood or drywall screws to attach one system to another before filling. A few clamps can also be used with a minimum of two clamps on each side. When the bags are filled all the way, remove clamps, and connect the next system.

Heavy equipment that is normally used to fill the bags are: Front End Loaders, Skid Steers, Backhoes, Side Dump Trucks, Cement Trucks (with a slurry of sand and water), and Concrete Conveyor belt Trucks.

Training and organization of labor are greatly reduced using the Big Bags USA barrier compared to conventional sandbags. Effectively utilizing a smaller unskilled labor force creates a larger margin in budgeting and mitigation compared to a conventional sandbag barrier.

Before Deployment

  • Some Special considerations before you deploy the Big Bags USA flood barrier should include:
  • Projected water levels
  • Elevation changes terrain
  • Equipment necessary for deployment
  • Available labor force
  • Whether you will need a Spreader Bar
