Nick Fraser - Redcard & Cleveland Council "We ordered the Quick Wall Minisack following a flood awareness event I held in the borough that UK Flood Defences Ltd attended, they were initially purchased as an alternative to traditional sandbags as they are waterproof, link together to give a less permeable barrier and give 300mm of protection without having to stack them. Our first use for them was during the flooding in January this year, surface water was flooding from fields through the ballast on the rail-lines and flooding properties opposite, flowing along the ballast like a dry river and flooding properties approx. 0.5 mile away. They are still in place, as there has been frequent flooding at this location since January. The attached photos show them in place to retain water in the field on the night, and as they were in March, we have left a gap to allow water to get into the ballast drain visible in the last two photos. Because they can be linked together easily, when it floods the residents are able to monitor the situation and put the spare bags which are visible in the last photo in the gap and stop the flow. This would have been more difficult with standard sandbags and would have either rotted away by now or would fall apart if we tried to move them. Some of the other benefits we found are that because they have internal supports they do not distort and for the last 5 months they have been regularly used as a walkway with no loss of performance. Where they were used as a temporary barrier across a road, because they are 300mm high no one drove over them like they did with the standard sandbags that were deployed first."
