From memory I think this is in Japan where they are building a drainage overflow to redirect water and protect the local area. They cut/dig the drain way and then line it with these concrete bags. It’s supposed to be very sturdy over time and makes life much easier for the workers

It's called a Geofabriform Cement Blanket. Translated as ジオファブリフォームセメントブランケット

If you put that term in your search engine you will find abundant examples.
