Our sand bags are self-inflating. Simply wait until the flood waters are high enough and then submerge the bags in water and build a wall.

These sand bags have been in use for over 13 years in Japan. They have been used in real flood situations.

The sand bags are currently used in Japan and Taiwan. We are just breaking into other markets.

We gather pieces of the bags from many countries and we put them together in our factories in Japan, Taiwan and China.

Yes, I have several pictures I can send you, just contact me. I am working on getting a video.

They can, but the fact is the success rate is not very good. Usually they can be reused once, but that is only if the floodwaters are clean without chemicals and salt. Please note we do not market these as reusable, nor do we guarantee they can be reused.  We recommend one time usage only.
 

The shelf-life is 5-10 years if kept dry and out of water.

Consider the costs of traditional sand bags. For example:
1. The cost of the burlap or jute bag
2. The cost of getting the bag to a fill site
3. The cost of getting labor to the fill site.
4. The cost of the filling material
5. The cost of labor to fill, transport and dispose of the bags.
6. The cost of transporting the filled bags.
7. The cost of placing the filled bags.
8. The cost of removing the filled bags.
9. The cost of disposing of the filled bags.
10. Environmental costs, etc.

Our sand bags are lightweight and easy to store and use. They can be inflated at the point of use. There is no prior preparation, just add water. During a flash flood our product can be used immediately, there is no need to find sand a fill a bag, just open our product and submerge it in water. You will have an instant barrier!

Yes, these sand bags have three uses.
1. Flood Control
2. Water-Line Construction
3. Greening

These bags have many uses for flood control. They can be used for:
Residential protection
Factory protection
Store front protection
Sidewalk protection
Underground parking protection
Streets
Railroads
River banks and river damming
Golf courses
Construction areas, both road and building.
Near or on rivers
Levees

Greening is a process of fertilizing and soil mantenance. Inflate and place 2-3 of our sand bags in the ground before planting a tree or plant. By doing so the tree is able to drink even during drought periods, also causing the root system to grow downward instead of floating to the surface to find water. This improves water retention and capacity and improves soil structure and increases root growth. In this way you are helping the vegetation to have a very healthy and strong root system able to withstand stronger winds, even hurricanes.
Greening is very effective in areas where drought, high wind, and clay soil are present.

Benefits include:
Saving water
Increasing plant growth
Deeper root growth and root development
Improving Yield and production etc...


The application of greening can is extensive:
Indoor plants
Flower beds and gardens
Near oceans
Urban landscapes
Environmental protection
Reforestation
Lawns
Embankment, slope, and hillside planting
Etc.

We have two other products.
1. Jet fuel or chemical absorbing bags.
2. Sea Water flood protection bags.
Please contact us for more detail about either of these.

Our sand bags are environmentally safe. They can even be used as a fertilizer, please see the question about greening for more information about this.

The minimum order is one 20ft. container, which is 8,800 bags.  We can ship as little as 1000 bags at this time, but at a higher price.  If you are a home owner and need small quantities, send us your contact information and when we have a distributor in place we will contact you and let you know where to order them.

If you want a sample I will need your full contact details, including your name, phone, fax, email, address, website, etc.  Also include a shipping account number such as FedEx, DHL or UPS.  Samples charges will apply.   I will also need your company information like a profile, milestones, product line, capability, etc.

1. Soak used bag in a 5 ~10% salt (CaCl) solution, bag will shrink to original size in about 10 ~ 15 minutes and is rendered unusable.
2. Burn bag at 250C or bury under ground, bag is biodegradable and will dissolve naturally.
3. Use is at as a mulch. Throw the whole bag into a wood chipper and mix it with wood chips. (This will depend what kind of flood you have used the bags in. If the bags are full of oil and chemicals it is best to use one of the first two methods of disposal.)
