Sandbag Services is an inexpensive and convenient option for stockpiling bags for flood fighting efforts. For pipeline construction and erosion control, Sandbag Services has proven itself cheaper than manual operations due to prohibitive trucking costs, housing and per diem for workers, and worker related insurances. And the ability to make sandbags on site is convient to operations.

In addition to the cost savings, the sewn bags made by Ensor Equipment machines lay flat when staking, making them interlock tightly with other bags, without the air gaps common to bags that are bunched at the top. This key feature of the Ensor Equipment bags was first noted by the Flood Fighting school directors from the California Department of Water Resources. They also noted that since the amount of fill material can be varied depending on customer preference, Ensor Equipment makes perfect bags for flood fighting and erosion control.
