What is a Sava Waterwall?

Sava Waterwall is a special bag made of rubberized fabric that can be filled with water (instead of sand bags) to create a barrier to flood waters or to divert, capture, hold back large volumes of water up to 28" depth. The textile inlay is made of high-strength PES fabric that is rubber-coated on both sides. The EPDM based rubber has long-term weather resistance, as well as ozone and UV resistance. It also exhibits excellent abrasion resistance.

PRODUCTIVITY Using sand bags, it takes about 760 man-hours to build a 300 feet long wall, while on the other hand only 14 man-hours are needed to build a 300 feet long wall with our WATERWALLS. Approximately 300 tons of sand and 7000 sand bags (about 90 pounds of sand per bag) would be required as compared to only 20 of our WATERWALLS.

ENVIRONMENT No special preparation is required with our WATERWALLS. They eliminate the problem of wet sand, gravel or soil disposal. There is no negative impact on the area where the WATERWALLS have been used.

LOGISTICS ADVANTAGE Our WATERWALLS are easy to handle. It takes only two people to install a WATERWALL. They are easily stored and are reusable. They can be filled with river water using the pump from a fire truck. Typical fill time per bag is approximately 15 minutes.

Type B is designed for protection of entrances, doors and ground level windows in buildings. 

Type A:
Length: 16'
Width: 7'
Protective Height in feet: 2.63'
Capacity in gallons: 1796 Gal.
Empty Weight in pounds: 154 lbs

Type B:
Length in feet: 16'
Width in feet: 5.6'
Protective Height in feet: 2.63'
Capacity in gallons: 1735 Gal.

One standard segment can replace approximately 300 sand bags. Both Type A and Type B are also 
available in lengths of 6.5 feet, 9.8 feet, 13 feet and larger. Custom lengths are available on request.


Sava Waterwalls can also be used as emergency containers or as storage tanks for service water. They 
are suitable for capturing hazardous liquids in case of spills and can be transported on a flat bed vehicle
