DIRT BagDeployable Isolation Repair Technology (DIRT™) Bag

On-Site Repairs

Dirt, debris, sand, extreme temperatures, and water spray can make on-site repairs difficult or impossible. The Deployable Isolation Repair Technology Bag system offers a better solution for on-site repairs. Using the DIRT Bag allows a technician to keep the repair area clean and clear while maintaining the dexterity and visibility needed to fix the damage.

As a lightweight, collapsible, low-cost system, the DIRT Bag provides portable convenience and a user-friendly solution for high-quality repairs in austere environments. The DIRT Bag fits securely over the damaged area, adheres to the surface, and provides a structurally supported covering that conforms to the shapes and angles of the repair site. The DIRT Bag keeps external debris out and repair residue in, protecting the surrounding area.

The DIRT Bag system can be customized with the following accessories:

   • Standard slits for hands
   • Advanced hand ports that seal tightly
   • Environmental controls
   • Lighting
   • Vacuum
   • Hose and cord access

Benefits

The DIRT Bag system reduces maintenance costs associated with ineffective repairs. The structural support and 360-degree clear viewing area resist wind and environmental debris, providing a faster, better, on-site repair. This system minimizes the need to transport damaged materials or components to a facility for repair. The DIRT Bag system can be quickly deployed for timely repairs and then collapsed for quick clean-up.
