Outline
Weather-resistant, large-sized sandbag, Two-ton Bags are ideal for disaster correspondence storage
Two-ton Bag is the product complying with the quality performance criteria of design and installation manual of “Weather-resistant, Large-sized Sandbag Layered Construction Method”. It shows excellent durability in usage for recovery works from disaster at rivers and roads. It has strong durability against UV, and can be re-moved and re-used after long hours.
Two types of Two-ton Bags are available depending on the support life. It can be selected according to the site situation.
Characteristics
- The bags have outstanding weather resistance due to the UV ray absorbing agent (carbon black) that is kneaded into the yarn, which controls the degradation of the chemical fibers caused by UV rays.
- Its volume is 1m3, filling material can be put up to 20kN.
- In weather resistance accelerated exposure testing (JIS L 1096 Weather resistance, the bags maintain a breaking strength with a sufficient safety factor with regard to a weight of 20kN even after an exposure time corresponding to one to three years.
Application
Application
It is well applied to immediate, tentative and main disaster recovery works.
- Suitable for the design and installation of the tentative structure works which less than 3 years for durability life time
- It can be used for tentative earth retaining wall works, tentative shore-protection works, tentative coffering works, as a “weather-resistant, large-sized sandbag”.
- For immediate disaster recovery works, standard cross section drawing showed in the “Weather-resistant, Large-sized Sandbag Layered Construction Method” Design and Construction Manual.
