Dewatering Bags
Dewatering Bags, also known as sediment filter bags or silt bags or dirt bags, are an easy and economical option for any site looking to remove sediment or silt from their discharge. Dewatering Bag is constructed from a robust geotextile filter fabric to catch and contain sediment as it is pumped from your site. Dewatering Bags are available for construction sites, power plants, dredging areas, and more.
Dewatering Bags are made of durable non-woven geotextiles that are UV stabilized and also resistant to puncturing and tearing.
Dewatering Bags are easy to use and require minimal maintenance.
Dewatering Bags are a cost-effective solution for dewatering applications.
Note: During filling, it is important to monitor the dewatering bags and avoid overfilling, which could lead to rupturing of the bags.
Features
- Filters water when working in sensitive areas
- Easy to use
- Minimal maintenance
Key Benefits of Dewatering Bags
Dewatering bags offer a convenient, effective way to filter sediment from pumped water on job sites. Made from high-strength geotextile fabric, they trap silt, sand, and sludge while allowing clean water to flow out. This makes them a reliable option for environmental applications where protecting nearby ecosystems is a priority.
These sediment control bags are easy to set up, require minimal maintenance, and can be used repeatedly as long as the flow capacity is maintained. Whether you’re handling stormwater runoff or cleaning up dewatered sludge, they deliver a cost-effective solution that supports compliance with local and federal regulations.
Common Applications
Dewatering bags are designed for use with pump discharge hoses and are suitable for a wide range of applications. These include:
- Construction site dewatering
- Sediment filtration during dredging
- Sludge management in municipal or industrial settings
- Slope stabilization and erosion control projects
- Temporary stormwater management in environmentally sensitive areas
Their compact design makes them easy to store and transport, while their rugged construction ensures dependable performance under pressure.
