Heavyweight™ Bags & Tubes for Installers

Sometimes drain inlet protection can get pretty elaborate with lots of materials and labor spent.  Isn’t it frustrating when the solutions that took so much hard work and money end up breaking apart and putting sand and rocks into the drains?  We thought so… and created the Heavyweight™ Bags and Tubes.  Reuse them, drive over them, and watch them do their job properly.

DURABLE hard-surface sediment control barriers:

• Drive over these tubes and bags in heavy traffic.  They are designed with this specifically in mind.
• We create them with durable and long-lasting materials – highly UV-resistant, dual-layered mesh and nonwoven geotextile.  They are sewn with marine-bonded thread – all made 100% in the USA.

REUSABLE drain inlet protection:

• Enjoy a drastically lower annual cost by reusing the Heavyweight™ Bags and Tubes over multiple jobsites and multiple years.  We expect them to last 3-5 years.

NO-HASSLE best management practices your workers will thank you for:

• Our bags and tubes are each very easy to install and remove, sewn with handles every two feet.  No weights or hardware required.
• The Heavyweight™ Tubes and Bags are lightweight when filled with the recommended crumb rubber.  The bags are typically up to 20lbs lighter than a typical gravel bag – 18.5lbs.  An 8ft Heavyweight™ Tube is 47lbs.
• The nonwoven material on the bottom helps prevent slippage when driving over the tubes and bags on hard surfaces.
• Cleaning for reuse is simple with the Velcro envelope closure.
• Worry less about workers’ compensation claims because of the lightweight and easy nature of the Heavyweight™ Tubes and Bags.

EFFECTIVE and versatile sediment filters

• Use the Heavyweight­™ Bags and Tubes on hard-surfaces such as check dams, perimeter control, or drain inlet protection.  They also make great replacements for sand bag barriers.
• Field tests* showed 89.8% sediment retention when filled with crumb rubber.
• The Heavyweight™ Bags have a large footprint, equivalent to 3 or so gravel bags, and are designed to utilize all of it for maximum filtration.

BONUS OPTION:  Buy the Heavyweight™ Bags and Tubes empty from us and fill them yourself with the filter media of your choice – mulch, wood chips, or crumb rubber.
