Sandbags are labor-intensive and the setup is slow. The true cost of using sandbags, including cleanup costs, is $2.50 to $5.00 per bag. Most sandbags can’t be reused and end up in landfills because they are contaminated with gas, oils, and raw sewage.

Check out the diagram at right from the US Army Corps of Engineers of the proper setup for sandbags, and then compare that to one row of interlocking Muscle Wall barriers. The advantage becomes crystal clear.

A sandbag levee that is one mile long and 4 feet tall requires 411,480 sandbags…

…or just 880 Muscle Wall Reusable Barricades.
