Definitions

  • the invention pertains to sandbag wall systems for use in erosion control, flood protection, coastal protection, slope stabilization and similar applications.
  • the invention provides a wall-building unit for use in the construction of sandbag walls, each unit being made of two bags of the type used for sandbags.
  • Each bag has a bag wall, a closed bottom and an open top edge.
  • the first bag is substantially filled with a fill material.
  • the second bag extends longitudinally over the first bag so that the bottom of the second bag is adjacent to and covers the open top of the first bag.
  • the second bag substantially covers the whole of the first bag, with the open top edge of the second bag being adjacent to the closed bottom of the first bag.
  • the second bag is shorter than the first bag and covers only part of the first bag, with the top edge of the second bag being positioned longitudinally between the open top edge and the closed bottom of the first bag.
  • fill material means any material that is suitable for use in bags in the construction of walls, including sand, soil, gravel, dry mix concrete (which hardens after wetting and curing) and mixtures thereof, including fill material with seeds for vegetation.
  • sand-bag as used in this specification means a bag containing any “fill material.”
  • the term is not limited to a bag in which the fill material is sand.
  • wall as used herein in relation to structures made of wall-building units includes any array of wall-building units that is suitable for the purpose of erosion control (for example along shorelines, riverbanks, etc.), flood control, retaining or stabilizing slopes or embankments, noise barriers, landscaping, and for similar applications.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a prior art sandbag
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a wall-building unit according to the invention comprising two bags;
  • FIG. 3 is a further embodiment of the wall-building unit
  • FIG. 4 is an end view on the line 2 - 2 of FIG. 2 ;
  • FIG. 5 is an end view of a further embodiment of the wall-building unit.
  • the invention provides wall-building units comprising a combination of two bags.
  • a prior art sandbag containing fill material is shown in FIG. 1 .
  • Prior art bag 100 has sewn bottom edge 102 and a side edge 104 . It is tied closed at top edge 106 by means of a tie 108 .
  • the top edge is pulled together in a cinched configuration, as a result of which the bag cannot be filled to its top edge.
  • the shoulders 110 reflect the reduction in fill volume resulting from this closing requirement.
  • Inner bag 122 has a bag wall 124 , a closed bottom 126 and an open top edge 128 .
  • the bag wall 124 is sewn closed along longitudinal edge 130 .
  • Outer bag 132 is of equivalent structure, with a bag wall 134 sewn along longitudinal edge 136 , and a closed bottom 138 and an open top edge 140 .
  • the outer bag is positioned to extend longitudinally over the inner bag 122 so that its closed bottom 138 is adjacent to and covers the open top 128 of the inner bag 122 . This leaves a space 139 between the two bags which, in practice, is small because the bags are tight fitting. It will be apparent that the inner bag 122 can be filled to its top edge with fill material, since the top edge is not cinched together to close, and the outer bag acts as a cover for the inner bag.
  • the outer bag can be shorter in length than the inner bag.
  • Outer bag 132 A is shorter than the inner bag 122 so its top edge 140 is longitudinally intermediate the top edge 128 and the bottom 126 of the inner bag.
  • the top edge 140 can be attached to the wall of inner bag 122 by means of tape, velcro, etc.
  • FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the wall-building unit 150 in which the outer bag is double walled.
  • Outer bag 151 comprises an outer wall 152 and an inner wall 154 . This is formed by two sheets of material (for example geotextile) sewn together along longitudinal seam 136 and their bottom end seam. The outer and inner walls are otherwise unattached, so a pocket or space 142 is formed between them.
  • a pre-seeded sheet 146 is placed in this space, and comprises a sheet of absorbent material with plant seeds affixed or embedded therein.
  • the sheet 146 is positioned adjacent to the outer face of the wall to provide for the growth of vegetation on the wall face as the seeds geminate and their plant roots grow through the bag walls and into the fill material, for example soil, inside the inner bag 122 .
  • a pre-seeded sheet 146 can likewise be placed in space 138 between the inner bag and the outer bag in the embodiments of FIGS. 2-4 .
  • the wall-building units are arranged in the same ways as are the prior art sandbags of FIG. 1 , arrangements that are well-known in the prior art.
  • the wall-building units are effectively double-walled (or triple-walled for the embodiment of FIG. 5 ) they are very effective at holding fine fill material, such as clay soils that are commonly used as fill materials in wet areas. They are accordingly particularly useful for erosion control walls along shorelines, streams, etc.
