While the water filled ballast bag concept is nothing new, several innovative features have been incorporated in Seaflex WaterLoad™ to make the user’s life easier. Filling is by full bore 'J tube' with 2½” quick release couplings to fit standard fire hydrants. The 20t & 35t bag invert is fitted with bronze female thread to accept a 3” valve and /or discharge hose which empties a 35t unit in 22 minutes. Similar 2” fittings on the 10t & 5t units ensure minimum discharge times.
Handling the larger units has been greatly eased by delivering them in their own dedicated storage boxes which allows the bag to be hoisted straight out of the box for filling, and when emptied, lowered and flaked back down with minimal site handling. This reduces the manpower required, reduces site time and keeps the bags protected at all times. The intelligent design and versatile filling discharge systems have made Seaflex WaterLoad™ the first choice for increasing numbers of test houses world wide.
