Bagged Concrete with a biodegradable and water-soluable liner

SoluForm's bagged concrete can be used for a range of hand placed bagwork applications including:

 Riverbank Protection.
  Creating Retaining Walls.
  Headwalls.
  Void Filling.
  Underpinning.
  Scour Protection.
 

Traditional hessian bags are prefilled with dry mix concrete within a biodegradable liner that can be placed below the water line.

Our patented design ensures that cement fines are confined to the bag and are not able to leak into the surrounding environment during vulnerable stages in construction such as whilst being carried placed and prior to the concrete hardening.

The liners biodegrade along with the hessian bags leaving just the concrete block so that no waste is placed into the surrounding watercourse.

Patented Biodegradable Liners

Underwater bagwork utilises SoluForm’s patented biodegradable liners and enable dry mix concrete to be placed below water, with the use of steelwork, in a clean and environmentally acceptable manner. Alternatively, our water soluble above water bagwork can be useful for dry or out-of-water bagwork applications, or for schemes where either the environmental risk isn’t there, or the risk can be managed. In the absence of surrounding water, above water bagwork is hydrated by either pre-soaking or hosing in situ, dependant upon where the bagwork is placed.
