Erosion Control with ONE TON BAGS
by Neil Dalton on 02/25/11
Erosion control is a process to prevent or control wind or water erosions in land development and construction and agriculture.
There are different erosion control methods but the best methods involve creating physical barriers, such as vegetation, rocks or sand. When creating large barriers the Ton Bag is a very important tool. Each Ton Bag holds a full yard of barrier material and can be picked up / moved by its four reinforced loops by a forklift, boom, crane or chain.
Today, sand and other dry building materials are transported on trucks and dumped on the sidewalk next to the job site. As a result, the contractor often needs to quickly remove the materials so that pedestrians do not slip, and materials are not lost due to rain, wind, or other types of run-off.
The Ton Bag gives you the flexibility to ship yards of any material on the same truck bed as your other goods such as bricks and blocks. So now you can deliver the brick, block AND sand on the same flatbed truck. Also, since each bag cleanly holds a full yard of material, you can easily deliver different type of bulk materials on the same truck bed. Plus, you can deliver yards of material to different job sites. This flexibility saves you money by making fewer trips back to the yard and eliminating the need to send out a dump truck for small orders.
Delivering your bulk building materials in a Ton Bag keeps the job site clean and professional. Since the bulk materials are kept in the Ton Bag, the work area including side walks and lawns are kept clean and free of potential wash off. This is becoming ever more important since local municipalities are cracking down on run off and wash off issues. Residential customers especially like the Ton Bags since it keeps their lawns and driveways clean and neat. Many customer request that bulk materials be delivered in the Ton Bag once they have seen them in action.
