FryeFlow Dewatering Bags Simplify Site Cleanup with FryeFlow Dewatering Bags
Dewatering bags, also known as sediment bags or dirt bags, provide an effective and economical solution for your construction site to help control sediment or other pollutants from reaching local bodies of water. FryeFlow Dewatering Bags are a Best Management Practice (BMP) used to easily filter sediment from turbid water before it is discharged from your work site. Additionally, dewatering bags can be used to disperse water to help prevent erosion.
These versatile bags can be utilized in areas where sediment basins cannot be implemented. Dewatering Bags allow you to avoid costly excavation needed for other common sediment control measures. Perfect for use for construction sites, ponds & lakes, municipalities, industrial sites, trenches, dredging sites, pipeline projects, sumps, spill cleanup, and more. Dewatering Bags are commonly placed in containment vehicles, construction sites, or dump trucks. Simply position dewatering bags in areas where sediment accumulates, such as construction sites, areas with stormwater runoff, or drainage ditches.
Made of a durable, permeable, 8 oz. non-woven geotextile fabric, FryeFlow Dewatering Bags trap sediment, debris and other particles while allowing discharged water to flow out. Simply connect FryeFlow Dewatering Bags to a discharge hose to allow for high volume pumping.
Projects that require excavation may require a dewatering process to be in place. Implementing a dewatering process to remove groundwater allows for safer site conditions for excavation activities by creating a stable, dry site environment.
By using Dewatering Bags as part of your SWPPP, you not only help ensure compliance with environmental regulations but also contribute to protecting water bodies from pollution.

Available in a variety of sizes to match your pump output and site conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
FryeFlow Dewatering Bags are geotextile sediment filtration bags designed to remove sediment and pollutants from pumped or turbid water on job sites. They allow water to drain through the fabric while capturing solids inside, helping protect nearby waterways.
Pumped water is discharged into the permeable, non-woven geotextile bag through a connected hose. As water passes through the fabric, sediment and debris are retained inside the bag while cleaner water is released.
The bags are constructed from durable 8-ounce non-woven polypropylene geotextile fabric. This material is designed to be strong, permeable, and resistant to punctures and tearing under field conditions.
FryeFlow Dewatering Bags are commonly used at construction sites, sumps, trenches, ponds, and dredging operations. They are also widely used by municipalities, industrial facilities, pipeline projects, and spill cleanup operations.
These bags are cost-effective, easy to install, and require no excavation. They help support environmental compliance by preventing sediment from being discharged into storm drains, waterways, or sensitive areas.
Yes. By dispersing discharged water and reducing flow velocity, FryeFlow Dewatering Bags help minimize erosion at discharge points, providing added site protection beyond sediment filtration.
FryeFlow Dewatering Bags are available in multiple sizes, including 5′×6′, 10′×15′, 15′×15′, and 15′×30′. This range allows flexibility for both small-scale and larger dewatering applications.
FryeFlow Dewatering Bags provide a simple, economical sediment control solution where traditional settling basins are impractical. They help reduce site disturbance, save time, and simplify compliance compared to excavation-based alternatives.
