Abstract:
1. A fluent material confinement system configured to receive a granular fluent material and to be stacked on a next-lowest fluent material confinement system to form a temporary barrier structure, the fluent material confinement system comprising: a plurality of strips, the plurality of strips including a plurality of lengthwise strips and a plurality of widthwise strips coupled with each other to define a plurality of open cells, wherein the plurality of lengthwise strips includes an outermost lengthwise strip, a second outermost lengthwise strip, and a plurality of inner lengthwise strips, wherein the outermost lengthwise strip and the second outermost lengthwise strip have a greater width than a remainder of the lengthwise strips and widthwise strips, wherein the outermost wider strip and second outermost wider strip are configured to extend into cells of the next-lowest fluent material confinement system when the fluent material confinement system is stacked on the next-lowest fluent material confinement system, and wherein the remainder of the lengthwise strips and widthwise strips are configured not to extend into the cells of the next-lowest fluid material confinement system when stacked; and a stacking error indicator located on the outermost wider lengthwise strip to indicate to a user a location of an error in stacking of the fluent material confinement system on the next-lowest fluent material confinement system.
