How the technology works / 02
A different way to build flood barriers.
Rather than placing thousands of individual sandbags by hand, levee-building machines deposit fill material into specialized continuous tubes. The result is a rapidly placed temporary barrier suited to site-specific engineering review.
- Material loading: sand or compatible fill enters the machine hopper.
- Powered conveyance: hydraulic motion moves material into a containment tube; mechanisms vary by machine.
- Barrier formation: the tube fills progressively as the equipment advances.
- Site-specific evaluation: verify alignment, foundation, overtopping, seepage, and stability before deployment.
Technical documentation / 03
Design decisions begin
with reliable data.
Performance figures are useful only when their measurement basis and limits are clear. This design presents manufacturer-reported values separately from engineering verification.

01
Assess conditions
Evaluate flood stage, available footprint, access roads, bearing conditions and fill availability.
02
Select equipment
Match the required barrier height and location to operating equipment and crew resources.
03
Plan deployment
Estimate fill, staging, deployment sequence and potential logistics bottlenecks.
04
Verify performance
Have responsible professionals review stability, overtopping risk and local permitting.

Important: This calculator is not a hydraulic, geotechnical, structural, or safety assessment. Sandbag equivalence does not establish equal barrier resistance, watertightness or certification. Consult qualified professionals and local authorities before designing or deploying flood protection.
