Unique Trapezoidal Flood Barrier Bag
Rapid Installation Barrier System (RIBS)™: Cellular trapezoidal expandable
woven polypropylene bag. Shape of the RIBS Bag employs gravity to ensure a tight
seal with the ground. Rapid deployment with RIBSCage™ or the full-length RIBS™
Hopper unit makes the RIBS system ideal for emergency situations.

Strong: Heavy-duty woven polypropylene coated
fabric for a water resistant seal.
Watertight: Unique trapezoid design creates a
downward “sealing” pressure; RIBS bags seal
tighter as water gets higher.
Continuous Chain: RIBS Bags are joined together
via 3,000 lb tensile strength nylon strapping with
metal D-rings.
Rapid Installation: RIBS Bags™ can be used with
either the RIBSCage™ or RIBS™ Hopper.

Flood barriers, including RIBS, when properly installed in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications can significantly decrease the risk of damage
due to flooding; however, neither RIBS nor other flood barrier products are intended to or can prevent all flooding. Any deployment of RIBS must be
(1) carefully designed by professionals familiar with the specifics of the site of application, circumstances surrounding the particular flooding risk and
the RIBS specifications and (2) installed by competent installers familiar with RIBS installation techniques. Landmark Earth Solutions makes no
representations or warranties concerning the appropriateness or performance of the RIBS technology at any particular site or in any particular
situation and shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect selection, use, or deployment of the product. As with all flood barriers, unanticipated
site characteristics or water conditions, misuse of the product or failure to properly follow the instructions can lead to severe flooding, property
damage, injury and deaths. Emergency planning and actions must take into account the potential of barrier failure. For information concerning the
Limited Warranty made by Landmark and product and installation specifications please see LandmarkEarthSolutions.com.
