Bluemont Rock Bags™ are a proven and tested solution, with over 700,000 bags deployed globally in the last 30 years. They are an extremely effective scour and erosion response that only requires Bluemont Rock Bags™ and rocks to fill them. It’s a genius solution, but luckily you don’t have to be one to use them!
The concept is very simple, using an excavator, backhoe, or loader, fill the Bluemont Rock Bags™ with rocks approximately 50 mm-175 mm and stack them to the side. When you’re ready to deploy them, lift them, move them, and place them! No ground prep work is required as the bags are a flexible rock net gabion and will mould to the shape of the surface they are placed on.
Employed by governments and consultancies, they can be used to protect a variety of assets both above and beneath water. Protect submarine cables, riverbanks and beaches from erosion and bridge pylons from scouring. Or use them to create temporary work platforms, road crossings or walls and cofferdams. They have even been deployed at the London Bridge on the River Thames!
Bluemont Rock Bags™ are a natural and sustainable solution as they’re made from 100% recycled materials. They will grow over with greenery above water and provide a safe space for fish and other critters below water. These flexible rock net gabions are extremely strong and have an array of creative uses. They’re environmentally friendly, economical, efficient and… we definitely have enough rocks.
