Why it’s vital for FloodSax alternative sandbags to sometimes keep water IN rather than OUT … and potentially save businesses vast sums in environmental fines.

FloodSax alternative sandbags are well-known worldwide for keeping floodwater out but many waste management companies now use them to keep water inside their premises.

They need to do this if there is an incident such as a fire or water leak inside their building which may have contaminants that could pollute nearby water courses if they seep into them, potentially leading to huge fines if they cause environmental damage.

FloodSax alternative sandbags played a vital role helping to tarmac a drive.
The unusual use of the world famous sandless sandbags came about when the driveway was being prepared in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
The hardcore was going down when it rained heavily and large puddles started to form from water flowing into the driveway from the road.
They needed drying up quickly before the tarmac arrived the following day so some FloodSax were put on the puddles which absorbed the water and then retained it. The FloodSax were then immersed in more water to absorb the full amount and used to build a protective layer to prevent any more water from getting onto the site and making the hardcore soggy and spongy

The summer is quickly coming to end with wet weather on the way, according to the Met Office.

Low pressure is now moving in signalling rain and wind for the days ahead as the UK moves towards early autumn with a lot of rain forecast for the first two weeks in September.

It means the risk of flooding will be high with the rain landing on dry ground, not soaking in and so putting homes and businesses at risk.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist Steve Willington said: “Meteorological summer is ending on a wet and windy note for many with low pressure the dominant force for the UK’s weather.

“While many areas may welcome some rain after fairly prolonged dry weather, there’s a potential that over the next few days some parts of Wales, northwest England and western Scotland could see some impacts at times, which we’ll be keeping an eye on.”

A spell of more persistent and heavy rain is forecast on Saturday as an area of low pressure moves in from the southwest and tracks north-eastwards close to the UK. Accompanying this heavy rain will be some strong winds, particularly along coasts.

According to the Met Office: “Changeable and unsettled weather conditions are expected across the UK with low pressure systems tending to dominate the overall pattern. This will mean showers or longer spells of rain will affect the majority of the UK at times.

“Some heavy rain or showers are expected in places, most often in the west. Thunderstorms and hail are also possible, as are some spells of strong winds if any deep areas of low pressure form in the vicinity of the UK.”

Plan ahead and protect your homes and businesses with FloodSax alternative sandbags which can be used outdoors to stop the water getting in and indoors to soak up any internal escapes of water.
