Term:Bagwork

A form of revetment constructed from dry-filled bags of a weak sand-cement mix. The bags are either hessian or plastic and are part-filled with the sand-cement mix. They are then placed on the soil surface to form a revetment, with staggered joints, and tamped into place. The sand-cement mix hardens over time and the bag material ages to give a more natural appearance. Can also be used to form low retaining walls.
