Cirtex Rock Bags
VERSATILE AND ECO-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE TO GABIONS AND RIP RAP, OFFERING NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES
Used to prevent scour and erosion in waterways and marine environments, Cirtex Rock Bags are a flexible, durable, rock-filled net bag providing a versatile, environmentally friendly alternative to concrete, gabions and rock rip rap revetments.
Able to conform to any uneven surface, Rock Bags reduce flow velocities by absorbing water energy, providing an effective scour and erosion control solution. Rock Bags are filled on site and lifted into place, providing a fast, durable and cost effective erosion protection structure. Available in 2 ton and 4 ton units, Rock Bags are manufactured from a highly durable, UV resistant polyester net.
The high interstitial spaces between the rocks also provide an enhanced habitat for invertebrates, accrete fines, gravels and silts. This allows vegetation to establish naturally over time. Cirtex Rock Bags can be used independently or as part of a bioengineering design with vegetated systems above the water level.
Benefits of Cirtex Rock Bags:
- Flexibility: Cirtex Rock Bags effortlessly conform to the shape and contours of the underlying surface, allowing them to be placed on uneven surfaces while still providing effective erosion protection.
- Quick to install: Cirtex Rock Bags are extremely fast to fill and place, allowing projects to be completed quickly with minimal cost and delays.
- Versatile: Cirtex Rock Bags can be used in a wide range of erosion protection and scour applications, making them a valuable tool for engineers and contractors to deploy, both during and after extreme weather events.
