Over the weekend we have rivers overtopping there banks, flooding in NZ homes. The sandbags themselves cost very little, but with fill required and time. How are you going get enough material, quickly fill all those bags and deploy them in the middle of the night with everyone else in your Tasman neighbourhood trying do the same.

Instead choose a fit for purpose solution which can be quickly deployed in NZ.


In the time it takes to fill and deploy 5 sandbags you can put this type of NZ modular system in place. Tailored to your home, focused on NZ communities working together.
