SAND AND TUBE

Continuous Sand Filled Tubes for Temporary Flood Fighting Barrier

  • The CAS sand tube is fast, simple, effective, and economical. A few of the benefits are as follows.
  • Speed of application paramount in a flood event. The more barrier that can be installed before the flood waters rise, the more property that can be protected.
  • Cost savings the cost of installing the tubes are less expensive than almost any other system including sand bags where the massive labor needed is free.
  • Less fabric disposed into landfills after the flood, disposal is an issue. The CAS sand tube uses a small fraction of the fabric as do sand bags and often, it can be removed entirely.
  • Less people to direct it is difficult to organize and optimize volunteers. Using the CAS sand tubes in many areas frees up these volunteers to work in other areas.
  • More secure and effective complete ground contact and fewer seams make the CAS sand tubes into a solid and tight barrier.
  • Variable heights and lengths simply adding more sand tubes makes a wider base and taller barrier.
  • Simple repairs whether using regular sand bags or sections of sand tube, repairs are made with supplies already available.
