• DIRTBAGS
The standard size of the Dirtbag is 1.5m2 giving a filtration area of 4.5m2 allowing
a flow rate well in excess of 4600 l/min or the pumping capacity of a 6" pump.
The Dirtbag can be used in various applications in its' raw form, as the shape & size of the bag can be
determined by the end user and as Dirtbags are manufactured in the UK we can make them any shape or size to suit your exact
site requirements.
Unlike other sediment control units the Dirtbags are NOT RELIANT on pumping speeds or
settlement times and the bags will help retain solids from your pumped water.
The Dirtbag is fitted with a standard 10" elasticated collar which will fit around any size delivery hose
or connector and you simply pump the water into the Dirtbag, the water runs through the bag which catches the solids in the
water.

Dirtbags are available in 100, 200 & 500 micron filter sizes and will retain solids dependant on the filter
size of Dirtbag used.
How it Works
The image below shows the Dirtbag laid on the ground whilst water is being pumped through it. This is an easy
solution if your site conditions allow for site water to run away and find its own course.
The solids are retained in the Dirtbag which allows the water to flow away.

Once the Dirtbag has filled with solids and the Dirtbag no longer allows adequate water flow (i.e. blinded off),
it is simply disposed of in accordance with your on site waste disposal guidelines and another Dirtbag is used.
“Simple”
Utility Bag
The utility bag was purpose made for small mobile street works and its simplicity has proved to be very
popular with street works and utility contractors.
The Utility bag is simply laid at the kerb side, before the road gulley and trench water is pumped through it
which catches the solids before reaching the drainage system.
The bag can be turned inside out and re-used and is easily stored in the gang's vehicles or PPE kits until
needed again.
The utility bag measures 1m x 300mm and its 10" elasticated collar means it will accept any size delivery hose.
