SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING FLOOD PROTECTION AND METHOD OF IMPLEMENTING SAME

摘要

A flood protection bag system includes a troughlike structure having longitudinally- extending sidewalls (116, 118) and a bottom wall (120) connected therebetween, along with one or more internal walls (132, 134, 136), the internal walls serving to divide the troughlike structure into a plurality of bag chambers. The longitudinally-extending sidewalls are continuous and seamless between the ends of the troughlike structure, and the bag system can be made of a plastic such as polypropylene. In one embodiment, the bag system may be implemented in conjunction with other such bag system (s). Also, in one embodiment, a frame structure (700, 800) is employed to support the bag chamber (s) during filling thereof with sand or other filling material, in a manner whereby tension is applied to each of the corners of the given bag chamber being filled. Further, in one embodiment, the bag chambers are covered by way of a bag top (400) that is openable or removable relative to the bag system.
