Trap Bag: Erosion Control During Winter in Guatemala and Nicaragua

With the arrival of winter in Guatemala and Nicaragua comes heavy rainfall that accelerates erosion, landslides, and the loss of fertile soil in agricultural and industrial areas.

Trap Bag presents an efficient, cost-effective, and quick solution to address these seasonal risks, offering a solid and reliable containment barrier for various projects.

What is it?
Trap Bag is a low-cost flood and erosion control barrier system that can be installed quickly. It’s designed for emergency situations and preventive protection during the rainy season, minimizing the impact of runoff, mud, or landslides.

Its design features interconnected pentagonal cells, providing greater stability than traditional sandbags, using 40% less fill material, which reduces logistical effort and operational costs.

Benefits

  • Prevents soil erosion in vulnerable areas during heavy rainfall.
  • Fast and easy installation, ideal for responding to weather emergencies.
  • Lower operational cost compared to traditional solutions like sandbags.
  • High durability and structural resistance thanks to the interconnected design.

Main Uses

  • Agriculture: Protecting crops and planting areas exposed to runoff or flooding.
  • Construction: Strengthening slopes and stabilizing terrain in works affected by rainfall.
  • Coastal Zones: Containing beach erosion and protecting riverbanks against waves and prolonged rain.
