Welcome
Traditional sandbags are heavy and bulky, difficult to transport and require considerable manpower to deploy often compounded by the need for fast reaction and distribution.
The solution would be to use a “flat pack” sand bag which requires no sand – luckily there is one.
After much research and trials there is now such a product Quick Sandbags which we now supply. They are suitable for use by the emergency services, armed services, local authorities, water utilities, business’ and households; combining ease of storage, fast deployment, light weight and low on labour and transport costs normally associated with traditional sandbags.
The Quick Sandbag is made from a bio-degradable woven jute outer skin, with a cotton liner, which contains a super absorbent polymer (SAP). Each quick sandbag weighs less than 450 grams (approx 1lb) .
To use the Quick Sandbag , remove the protective outer plastic bag – immerse the bag in water, the SAP rapidly absorbs the water, swelling in less than 5 minutes to a typical sand bag size weighing approximately 16Kg. The Quick Sandbag is then able to be deployed building defensive barriers or water deflectors. Quick Sandbags may be stacked upto 2ft in height without further reinforcement.
The outer jute skin and inner cotton bag are biodegradable. The super absorbent polymer is inert and the bags can be disposed of in normal landfill. Alternatively the content can be dug into your garden to improve water retention.
The Quick Sandbag is supplied in multiples of 10, each bag is separately sealed, giving long shelf life (6 years) and the ability to only use as required, reducing waste.
If you currently use traditional sandbags for water ingress protection or diversion such as property flooding prevention, working on water distribution network repairs then you should consider the advantages that this newer form of sandbag offers for storage, deployment, life cycle and ease of use.
We are able to supply in bulk and payment can be on the normal accounting terms for local authorities and other major companies.
Bulk orders, flexible payment terms and a variety of bespoke delivery, storage and branding options available on enquiry.
