Sand Bags
In the dynamic world of construction and surveying, Signet offers a range of sand bags, essential for various applications. We offer both hessian sandbags and polywoven sandbags that are UV resistant which makes them suitable for prolonged outdoor use.
How are Sand Bags Used in Construction and Surveying?
Sand bags are a simple, yet effective, tool for preventing or reducing flood water damage. They act as barriers to divert water around buildings, prevent overtopping of streams with levees, and guide current flows to specific areas. In construction, they are also used for stabilizing structures and marking survey lines.
What Types of Sand Bags are Available and How to Choose?
Signet offers both burlap (Hessian) and polywoven sand bags. Burlap sacks are traditional, eco-friendly, and ideal for temporary use, while polywoven bags offer longer-lasting solutions but are not biodegradable. The choice depends on the specific requirements of the project, such as duration, environmental conditions, and sustainability considerations.
What's the Proper Way to Fill and Place Sand Bags?
Filling sandbags is typically a two-person task. It involves one person holding the bag open and another filling it with soil. It's important to fill the bags only one-third to one-half of their capacity for ease of handling and effective stacking. For placement, align the bags with the flow of water, ensuring the open end faces against the water flow and layers are staggered for a tight seal.
Sand bags are indispensable tools in construction and surveying, offering flexibility, durability, and practicality.
