Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Flood Sandbags Do Their Part in Oil Spill Cleanup

Whenever a flood occurs, one of the first lines of defense is usually flood sandbags. Images of lines of people handing flood sandbags to each other are normally seen on television and in newspapers whenever floodwaters threaten a particular area. Sand is heavy and is able to withstand the pressure tons of water can put on them, so it makes them an effective choice to combat flood situations. They do tend to leak because rushing water can be an unstoppable force at times, so keeping a close eye on the situation is imperative.

Filling flood sandbags takes many volunteers as well. Tons of sand are sometimes needed to fill the bags and in flood prone areas, a system of sand-filling is usually already in place. It takes a lot of work to use the sandbags to protect a place against floods. Another use for the sandbags is for oil spills. Clean up efforts sometimes involve the use of flood sandbags in hopes of soaking up the oil before it reaches the shoreline. Agents such as Enviro-Bond 403™ can be added and then the oil can be encapsulated by changing it into a solid that is easy to clean up as well as recyclable. The oil then can used as a raw material for things like rubber, asphalt, plastics and fuel.

It can take about seven hours to place 1,500 flood sandbags along a shoreline and about 10 people to complete the job. While they have proven their effectiveness in oil spill cleanup efforts, the time and labor is takes to put them together can be taxing especially when there is a time factor. For instance, in the BP oil spill, the oil is already washing up on the beaches along the Gulf of Mexico and something is needed fast. One thing that is a little faster to assemble than flood sandbags is the HESCO® basket units. They can be put up within 20 minutes and you only need two people. Also, the Enviro-Armour™ can be added to the units and they act as a protective beach barrier that will stop the oil from ruining the beaches.  

While flood sandbags are still a good weapon to have for floods, storms or oil spills, the HESCO® units might be something to consider since the oil is rapidly coming closer to shore. Integrated Protection Systems can install flood sandbags or HESCO® units wherever they are needed using their preferred installers, Sterling Building Specialists.
