WHAT ARE ROCKBAGS?

Rockbags have range of applications for the offshore and marine civil engineering sectors.

Made of 100% recycled polyester (PET) and constructed using a unique form of knitting, known as Raschel, the filter unit is a rock filled bag filled with aggregate making it a very flexible solution for marine construction work.

Available in 3 sizes (2, 4 & 8 ton) the Units have a safety factor of 6 and feature a one-point lifting ring for fast and accurate installation.

The Units are a proven solution for preventing erosion or scour caused by hydrodynamic forces, they also fit harmoniously into the marine environment. Small fish, plants and other aquatic life can live in the interstices inside the Units which form a natural habitat for marine flora and fauna.

Applications:

  • Anti-Scour Protection
  • Riverbed and Bank Protection
  • Bridge Pile Protection
  • Limited Access Sites
  • Emergency Repair
  • Harbor and Levee Defense

Aggregate Size Matters

Recommended aggregate size is 2 -8 inches for both the 2 and 4 ton bags.  The smaller size aggregate serves two different functions.  The smaller size allows the bag to be flexible making it possible to conform closely to the structure that is being protected.   The smaller aggregate acts as a filtering agent keeping the underlying soil protected from eroding currents.
