AquaRockBag is a durable mesh net made from premium virgin HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) or polyester materials. It is highly resistant to abrasion, chemicals and UV, making it suitable for protecting against scouring and soil erosion along shorelines, river banks, bridge piers, wharf structures, as well as for habitat restoration and the establishment of a robust flood defence systems. Compared to other alternatives using recycled HDPE, virgin HDPE minimises microplastic release, preserving water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
Optimal performance can be achieved by using AquaRockBag underwater to stabilise structures on the sea or river bed, while enhancing marine biodiversity. Above water, the AquaRockBag can establish ecological benefits, such as creating diverse ecosystems when combined with soil bioengineering practices.

WHY CHOOSE AQUAROCKBAG?
-
The design of the bag facilitates the establishment of plant life on and around the bags, creating a natural habitat for aquatic ecosystems over a short period of time
-
Offers minimal environmental impact during installation and can help avoid the need for extensive excavation or disruptive construction processes. This preserves the natural habitat and reduces the risk of secondary environmental damage
-
Lower projects costs with a flexible net structure that adapts well to uneven surfaces, eliminating the need for ground preparation works with heavy machinery
-
The modular nature of the bag allows for easy reconfiguration and relocation, making it adaptable to various site conditions and reusable in different projects
-
Net is fully recyclable and offers excellent anti-abrasion properties and high UV resistance
-
The net can be filled on-site using a portable filling frame and machinery, which makes installation quick and easy. Only basic on-site staff training is required
-
Customised to fit specific coastal protection needs, providing flexibility in design and implementation in typical applications areas such as river banks shores and bridge piers
-
Designed to handle projects big and small, supporting weights from 1 to 12 tons
-
Made from highly durable materials with lifetime of up to 100 years when submerged
OTHER APPLICATIONS
Flood Protection
AquaRockBag is a reliable component of flood prevention systems, offering erosion control and flood mitigation capabilities. It can be used in various emergency situations, including water containment, temporary barriers, erosion control, and as a temporary floor barrier.
Lightweight and portable, AquaRockBag is easy to transport and deploy, even in difficult-to-access areas. It adapts to different scales of emergencies, from small local incidents to large-scale natural disasters.
With its high absorption capacity, AquaRockBag rapidly absorbs and retains large volumes of water, minimising flood impact. Made from robust materials, it is reusable and durable, ensuring long-term use and cost-effectiveness.
Hydraullic Engineering & Structures
Bridges and piers
AquaRockBag provides reliable protection against bank structure erosion by acting as a scour protection measure around bridges and piers, ensuring the long-term stability and integrity of engineered structures.
Rivers
AquaRockBag can be used to manage and control water flow in rivers, canals, and other watercourses, preventing erosion and flooding. It also contributes to river pollution mitigation by preventing sediment and pollutant runoff, preserving water quality and biodiversity.
Ports
For port protection, AquaRockBag effectively dissipates waves, provides erosion control, stabilises shorelines, and reduces sedimentation.

FUNCTIONS
Erosion & Sediment Control
The use of a geosynthetic to prevent soil or other particle movements on the surface slope. Acts to reduce soil erosion caused by wind forces, rainfall impact and surface water runoff. The use of geosynthetics in erosion control is to maintain soil cover either as a temporary measure offering protection from soil loss whilst vegetation is established or as a permanent control measure, typically on steeper slopes or high-water velocity situations.
Protection
Geosynthetics can prevent acute damage caused by adjacent materials. Often used together with a barrier to ensure that surrounding areas will not be contaminated. Widely used on landfills, tunnel construction and dams.
