<<A canal WOULD have to have a concrete wall/dirt backfill. I was thinking of the breech that was being filled in with giant sandbags.>>

That's the one but it didn't have any backfill until they started fixing the break. I've seen the same type of wall used as a flood control on the Mississippi in Cape Girardeau.

They used the sandbags starting on one end while building the new levee from the other end of the break.
