HERMEQ’s polypropylene sandbags are engineered for durability and adaptability across demanding B2B environments. Manufactured from anti-rot woven fabric, they deliver excellent resistance to weather and long-term site use. Ideal for flood defence, traffic management signage, or fencing ballast, these sandbags are supplied either filled with dry sand or unfilled for on-site loading.
Each unit is fitted with integral tie cords, allowing for quick deployment during emergencies or infrastructure setups. The standard size carries approximately 12.5kg of sand—making them easy to lift and reposition as required, while still delivering effective stabilisation and protection in harsh conditions.
- Multi-use applications – Use for flood response, hoarding stability, or traffic cone ballast.
- Flexible supply – Purchase filled or unfilled based on project needs.
- Secure fastening – Integral tie cords keep contents secure in all conditions.
- Space efficient – Compact size makes for easy storage and site transport.
- Compliant construction – Woven polypropylene meets UK industry standards for temporary works.
In civil engineering, utilities, and site operations, sandbags are a proven method for stabilising structures, controlling water flow, and adding weight to temporary installations. These polypropylene sandbags are a cost-effective and versatile solution for contractors looking to manage on-site hazards, from signage tipping to unprotected perimeter zones.
Each bag is 13" x 30" and can carry around 12.5kg of dry material. The woven polypropylene structure resists tearing, fraying, and rot even in wet or exposed environments. It’s the ideal material for long-term ballast on uneven ground, around trenches, or along low-lying areas prone to surface water accumulation.
These sandbags are frequently used to weigh down traffic management signs, stabilise temporary hoarding, or reinforce barriers during emergency flood deployments. Because they are compact and stackable, they are easy to store in bulk and deploy at short notice.
HERMEQ’s supply flexibility means you can order these bags pre-filled with sand for immediate use or unfilled to reduce transport weight and fill them on-site. Either way, integrated tie cords make it simple to seal them securely. This ensures that even in challenging conditions, the sand remains safely contained and the bags perform as intended.
HERMEQ stock a wide range of General Building Supplies, Temporary Fencing, Permanent Fencing & Road Barriers conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

Sandbags remain one of the most reliable and flexible products for construction, highway, and flood control applications. HERMEQ's polypropylene sandbags are designed for fast deployment and maximum effectiveness in stabilisation, defence, and load-bearing roles.
- Frequently deployed on civil engineering sites to weigh down temporary fencing or hoarding panels.
- Used in event management and transport planning to anchor traffic signs or base plates in windy conditions.
- Essential for flood defence projects in low-lying areas or locations adjacent to watercourses.
Material and Performance
Each sandbag is constructed from woven polypropylene, chosen for its high tensile strength and resistance to UV and water degradation. Unlike fabric or jute alternatives, these bags won’t deteriorate quickly in damp storage or when exposed to ground moisture.
Deployment Versatility
These sandbags are ideal for weighting barriers, cones, warning signs, fencing posts or covering hatches. Their compact design allows them to be stacked or shaped to fit into recesses and corners, offering flexible reinforcement on uneven surfaces.
Filled or Unfilled Supply
Contractors can opt to receive them pre-filled for fast use or unfilled to reduce logistics costs. For emergency storage or long-term readiness, keeping a reserve of unfilled bags on-site offers strategic benefit. They can be filled with local material and sealed quickly using the attached tie cords.
Compliance & Application Range
HERMEQ polypropylene sandbags comply with UK construction supply norms and are trusted across commercial, council, and rail-based projects. Their performance is proven in real-world settings from urban resurfacing to coastal defence works.
