Sandbags for Traffic Control & Road Work in Calgary

How traffic control teams in Calgary use sandbags

Traffic control companies and road crews rely on sandbags to keep signs, barricades and channelizers upright in wind and the draft from passing trucks. High-visibility orange and yellow bags add another layer of visibility in the work zone, and heavy-duty fabric survives daily loading, unloading and resets. We supply fleets with filled bags in consistent weights so every set-up behaves the same way.

Calgary had a population of 1,306,784 in the 2021 Census. In Alberta, late spring and early summer bring mountain snowmelt and heavy rain on the Bow, Elbow, Red Deer and North Saskatchewan watersheds, which is when flood sandbags sell out fastest.
