Cirtex Rock Bags

Flexible and sustainable solution to gabions and rip rap with many benefits

Cirtex Rock Bags are a flexible, durable, rock-filled net bag providing a versatile, environmentally friendly alternative to concrete, gabions and rock rip rap revetments, used to prevent scour and erosion in waterways and marine environments. 

Available in 2 ton and 4 ton units, Rock Bags are manufactured from a highly durable, UV resistant polyester net. Filled with rocks on site and lifted into place, Rock Bags provide a fast, durable and cost effective erosion protection structure. 

Rock Bags reduce flow velocities by absorbing water energy. High interstitial spaces between the rocks also provide an enhanced habitat for invertebrates, accrete fines, gravels and silts, which allow vegetation to establish naturally over time. This allows Cirtex Rock Bags to be used independently or as part of a bioengineering design with vegetated systems above the water level, providing an effective scour and erosion control solution.  

Benefits of Cirtex Rock Bags:

  • Flexibility: Cirtex Rock Bags effortlessly conform to the shape and contours of the underlying surface, allowing them to be placed on uneven surfaces while still providing effective erosion protection. 
  • Quick to install: Cirtex Rock Bags are extremely fast to fill and place, allowing projects to be completed quickly with minimal cost and delays. 
  • Versatile: Cirtex Rock Bags can be used in a wide range of erosion protection and scour applications, making them a valuable tool for engineers and contractors to deploy, both during and after extreme weather events.
