A system and method for constructing any desired length of height linear cellular chain for use as a protective wall system, including a chain of fabric bulk bags, each having an open upper end, and interconnected along their sidewalls to define the cellular chain; and a fabric channel formed on the upper ends of each of the adjoining bags sidewalls for engaging a bag support and filling system, which includes a first metal frame member having a pair of arm members for threading through two adjacent fabric channels; the frame supported by a base member resting on the ground; a second metal frame member for receiving the distal ends of each of the arm members of the first metal frame member, at a level so that the bulk bag is supported by the arm members; bulk material to be poured into the supported bulk bag, to a level that the bag is substantially filled and no longer requires the support of the frame, so that the frame can be removed and positioned onto the next pair of fabric channels to fill the next empty bag.
A system for constructing any desired length or height linear cellular chain for use as a protective wall system, comprising:
A method of constructing any desired length or height linear cellular chain for use as a protective wall system, comprising the steps of:
A method of constructing a flood protection wall system, comprising the steps of:
A fabric cell comprising sidewalls of woven fabrics, including more than one interior sidewall, wherein each sidewall includes a fabric supporting sleeve positioned along an upper length of each sidewall so that there are spaced apart interior fabric supporting sleeves, each of said sleeves extending across a width of the fabric cell, through which temporary support frame members can be inserted to support and prevent the sidewalls from collapsing during a filling process.
A non-self-standing fabric cell comprising sidewalls of woven fabrics, including more than one spaced apart interior sidewall, each interior sidewall including a fabric supporting sleeve through which temporary support frame members can be inserted, each fabric supporting sleeve extending along an upper length of each sidewall from a front wall to a back wall of the fabric cell, wherein the fabric cell includes interior, spaced apart fabric supporting sleeves along a longitudinal length of the fabric cell, for preventing the sidewalls from sagging.
