TrapBag Flood Barriers in Louisiana
Flood Protection
Whether it is to protect parishes on the coast or those farther inland on the Mississippi River, Louisiana flood control is imperative. With some areas of Louisana still flood-damaged decades after Hurricane Katrina, preventing natural disasters from ravaging the land is imperative. TrapBag® offers a cost-effective solution that can be quickly deployed, stacked at four-foot intervals to protect from deep waters, and has unmatched durability. TrapBag® was designed to help prevent flood damage of that scale from happening in the future.
Learn More »Erosion Control
TrapBag’s erosion control offers superior protection of your shoreline and beaches from storm damage and erosion from inclement weather. To protect your shoreline or preserve your beach, simply deploy TrapBag as a dune stabilizer or to help preserve renourishment efforts.
Learn More »Seawalls
TrapBag can also serve as a temporary or long-term seawall to protect the shoreline from rising sea levels and coastal floods. With each TrapBag offering the strength to stand up to flood and erosion from pounding waves, it can serve as an effective seawall.
Learn More »Retaining Walls
To protect against mudslides, floods, or beach embankments, TrapBag can serve as a retaining wall. Its durability and strength can easily hold the pressure of the earth, and it can be used in place of a gravity wall or MSE wall. In situations where an emergent retaining wall needs to be established, TrapBag can deployed quickly and easily.
Learn More »Stormwater Management
TrapBags can also help protect sewers from floodwaters that can overwhelm systems, which can wreak havoc if they overflow as polluted water then spills out. Additionally, water supplies can be protected from stormwater with TrapBag’s flood protection system.
Learn More »Cofferdams
Cofferdams are often used in low-lying or underwater projects when a dry area needs to be created to complete important work. TrapBag is perfect for projects in shallow waters where traditional steel or concrete cofferdams are expensive, time-consuming, and simply not practical.

Fast Deployment
TrapBag can be filled and ready in minutes with a fraction of the supplies, time, and manpower that sandbags take to establish effective flood protection. All you need to quickly fill and deploy a TrapBag is a skid steer, material to fill the TrapBags, and a few people. You don’t need anything special to fill a TrapBag, either. Sand, mud, gravel, or even cement for a more permanent option can be used to fill TrapBags.
-
Reliable Strength
TrapBags are designed to last up to five years in the elements. The geotextiles can handle anything that Mother Nature throws at it, from pounding waves to mudslides and the pressure of significant flooding. In fact, our product gets stronger with exposure within the first 500 hours of UV exposure, making it one of the best flood protection devices on the market.
-
Efficient Design
TrapBag is designed to be as economical and efficient as possible. When empty, TrapBags can be folded and take up very little space, which makes them easy to store. This feature also makes them easy to ship, so you can have them ready for flood protection in the event disaster strikes. They’re designed to be deployed quickly during an emergency, taking less time than and with less manpower than sandbags require—and protecting more space, up to 50 linear feet, with each barrier.
