LMC Jute Hessian Burlap Sandbag For Flood Control (Grade-2)

Jute burlap or hessian sandbags are widely used for flood control due to their durability, permeability, and affordability. Here are some specific uses and benefits of using these sandbags for flood control:

1) Temporaryand Emergency Levee Repair: These sandbags are used to construct temporary levees or embankments to redirect floodwater away from sensitive areas, such as residential zones, farmland, or infrastructure. During floods, existing levees may be compromised. Sandbags can be used as a quick measure to bolster and repair these levees until more permanent solutions can be implemented.

2) Temporary Flood Barriers: Sandbags filled with sand or soil can act as a barrier to prevent or redirect the flow of water during floods. They can be strategically placed to create barriers around homes, businesses, or critical infrastructure.

3) Erosion Control: Along riverbanks, hillsides, or areas prone to erosion, sandbags can help stabilize soil and prevent further erosion caused by flooding or heavy rainfall.

4) Channelling Water: Sandbags can be used to channel or redirect water away from vulnerable areas, guiding it towards drainage systems or safer areas.

5) Protecting Property: Placing sandbags around doors, windows, and other openings in buildings can help prevent water from seeping in during floods, thereby protecting property and reducing damage.

6) Emergency Preparedness: Pre-filling sandbags and storing them in flood-prone areas ensures a quick response during emergencies, allowing for immediate deployment when needed.

7) Community Protection: Distributing sandbags to residents in flood-prone areas as part of community initiatives can empower individuals to protect their homes and neighbourhoods during flood events.

8) Construction and Infrastructure Support: Sandbags can provide temporary support to reinforce levees, embankments, or other flood-control structures under maintenance or repair.

9) Flood Diversion: In some cases, sandbags can be strategically placed to divert water away from critical infrastructure or residential areas, reducing the impact of flooding.
