“No. We only provide empty mesh-netted bags designed for holding the rocks and lifting rings required for deploying the rock bags at the site.”
View in the company profileHow do Rock Bags work to control erosion?
“A bag filled with small rocks works similarly to one large rock but more effectively. Rock Bags placed on the site act as a barrier, preventing the water from washing away the soil or sand. The gaps between the small rocks also promote the growth of plant and marine life, strengthening the erosion control system further.”
View in the company profileAre Rock Bags ideal for use in seawater?
“Yes. Rock Bags are ideal for use in both freshwater and seawater environments.”
View in the company profileWhere can Rock Bags be used?
“As Rock Bags are flexible in structure, they are suitable for many applications. You can use them for erosion control and prevention in ports and coastal areas, railways, bridges, waterways, roads, offshore and subsea.”
