HANDLING SPECIFICATIONS

---

I-SACs must be stored in a clean, dry environment, protected from direct sunlight and UV exposure. 

• Indoor Storage (Preferred): Store in a covered, enclosed space, away from moisture, heat sources, and sunlight.                                       
• Outdoor Storage: If indoor space is unavailable, I-SACs may be stored outdoors, provided they are kept off the ground on pallets and fully covered with a UV-resistant covering to prevent exposure to sunlight, rain, and debris. Proper storage conditions must be maintained until installation to ensure material integrity and performance.

Recommended Use: Use only clean, dry sand or aggregate materials, with aggregate material particle sizes between 5–20 mm, in conjunction with approved I-SAC filling system(s). The installer is responsible for verifying that the selected fill material and bag size comply with all project specifications

To prevent damage, fabric lifting straps must be used with properly maintained lifting equipment that is free of burrs and sharp edges. All hooks and lifting points should be inspected before each lift.  I-SAC Buoyancy Control Devices: These must be lifted solely by their designated lifting straps to avoid tearing or compromising the integrity of the materials.

Carefully center the filled I-SAC weight directly over the pipeline. Lower it slowly to allow the legs of the bag to separate evenly and saddle the pipeline properly. Ensure the weight is placed in a controlled manner to maintain alignment and prevent shifting during installation.
