HOMETHE CAS SAND TUBEConveyor Application Systems has created a new system by which long tubes can be filled with sand creating a continuous barrier. The tubes are filled on site using a single piece of equipment at rates equivalent to 120 sand bags per minute. These tubes have complete contact with the ground and require no advance ground preparation.THE PROCESSThe process uses a loader and the CAS Off-Road Environmental Series Track machine. The tube fabric is attached to the filling device and the machine begins laying the tube in one continuous length. Multiple runs are made laying a base tube and stacking more in a pyramid shape to whatever height is required. This process requires one equipment operator for the track machine, a loader operator, and a couple of helpers to load the cartridges and stage them for the machine.The CAS Off-Road Environmental Series Track machine is built to have very low ground pressure allowing it to work in environmentally sensitive areas where damage and compaction are of concern. With the rubber tracks and off road design, it can access difficult locations and place the CAS Sand Tubes where they are needed. The entire barrier is built quickly and in place.

SUMMARYSummary of BenefitsThe CAS sand tube is fast, simple, effective, and economical. A few of the benefits are as follows.Speed of application paramount in a flood event. The more barrier that can be installed before the flood waters rise, the more property that can be protected.Cost savings the cost of installing the tubes are less expensive than almost any other system including sand bags where the massive labor needed is free.Less fabric disposed into landfills after the flood, disposal is an issue. The CAS sand tube uses a small fraction of the fabric as do sand bags and often, it can be removed entirely.Less people to direct it is difficult to organize and optimize volunteers. Using the CAS sand tubes in many areas frees up these volunteers to work in other areas.More secure and effective complete ground contact and fewer seams make the CAS sand tubes into a solid and tight barrier.Variable heights and lengths simply adding more sand tubes makes a wider base and taller barrier.Simple repairs whether using regular sand bags or sections of sand tube, repairs are made with supplies already available.DOWNLOADClick the icon below to download our informational report detailing all aspects of the CAS Sand Tube.
