FlexMac®
FlexMac® is a multi-cellular structure made of panels of double-twist, hexagonal mesh, reinforced with vertical steel bars and internally lined with geotextile. All panels are linked to each other using spiral wires, to guarantee flexibility. FlexMac® can be installed in minutes and requires no additional assembly or connections.
FlexMac® can be filled with any available on site soil thus allowing for the use of available equipment (i.e. backhoe, frontloader, etc.).
The main applications of FlexMac� are:
- emergency river and flood works
- provision of sediment storage basins
- bank restoration
- protection of plants and storage areas
- protection of military fortification structures
The advantage of FlexMac®, compared to common sand bags, is the consistent reduction of the installation time, and the reduction of manpower required for installation.
