Garrison Flood Control - Oversized Large Sand Filled Flood Bag Barriers - 5-Compartment Bag

The Beluga™ Bag barrier is a unique flood control system that is ideal for protection of important property and infrastructure.

Beluga is a concertina style, big bag, flood barrier consisting of a heavy duty oversized bag, divided into 5 distinct chambers. Use sand or other aggregate or fill material to fill bags and to create a heavy duty levee to hold back water.

Beluga bags ship flattened on pallets, ready to be opened, positioned and filled on site. Each bag is 15ft long, 3ft deep, and 40” high and replaces approximately 750 standard sandbags. Because there’s no wasted space, Beluga Barriers use roughly 1/2 the amount of sand required for an equivalent sandbag barrier and significantly less labor to position and fill.

Beluga bag barriers can be installed and filled by a relatively small crew and deployed quickly in advance of an expected flood.

Protect Against Heavy Flooding
Beluga™ big bag flood protection barriers can rapidly deploy against major flooding events. Beluga FIBC bags can be used for a variety of applications and can help in the protection of municipal buildings, homes, entire neighborhoods, infrastructure and more. Use Beluga bags along riverfront paths, lakefronts, oceanfront sea walls, on bays, around a building or facility and anywhere floods can occur. Beluga Bags are exceptionally effective for the following uses:

• Water Diversion: Use Beluga barriers to divert water away from sensitive infrastructure and to protect property from rising flood waters.
• Sewer Drain Sealing: Place oversized Beluga bags on top of sewer drains and outlets to prevent sewage back flow from sewer back ups or rising flood water levels.
• Cofferdams: Keep water contained in a particular area by blocking its flow and preventing its migration to other areas.
• Levee Heightening: Reinforce and heighten levees by adding Beluga barriers on top of existing levees. Fill gaps in the levee or repair breaches.
• Coastal Erosion: Use Beluga bags, filled with sand or cement, to protect against coastal erosion. Efficiently deploy bags, without extensive site prep. Reinforce waterfronts, river fronts, and other erosion prone areas.
• Storm Surge Protection: Beluga stands up against heavy storm surges. The bag’s heavy fill and 40” protection height keeps Beluga Bags in place and stops flood waters in its tracks.

Speed of Deployment

• Designed for easy deployment by unskilled labor
• Each complete 5 chamber Beluga weighs only 50lbs
• With proper filling equipment and 2 persons, expect to install a 100ft berm in approximately 2.5 hours.

Bag Capacity

• Bags have a capacity of 30 cubic feet of sand per section x 5 sections = 150 cubic feet of sand per 5 compartment bag
• 4,500lbs (Safe Working Load) per chamber
• 22,500lbs (Safe Working Load) per 5 chamber system

Damming Ability

• A single layer of Beluga Bags can withstand 3ft of water.
• Stack multiple bags to create up to a 9ft high barrier (Engineer sign-off required for stacking).
• Ground conforming design will contour to the surface below
• Use on concrete, asphalt, sand, grass, mud and more
