Bluemont Rock Bags™

Bluemont Rock Bags™, known as Kyowa Filter Units outside the region, are flexible mesh bags used for scour and erosion control. They are made by Kyowa and supplied by Bluemont, which describes itself as Australia's leading supplier of environmental crisis management solutions. The bags are used on bridges, roads, railways, embankments, culverts, shorelines and rivers, and are filled with rock or riprap to form a flexible protection system positioned as a sustainable alternative to gabions, large rock, blockstone, free riprap and rock mattresses. They require no foundations or ground/bed preparation and are made from 100% recycled material.
