Coastal Erosion Control Solutions

Geotubes, also known as Geotextile Tubes, are geotechnical materials used as soft breakwaters, providing optimal solutions for effectively controlling and restraining hydraulics and sea wave energy. This technical method is suitable for special projects applied in river mouths and sea mouths, helping to optimize construction and building costs, accelerate construction progress, and ensure project quality.

STRUCTURE

Geotextile tubes are constructed from high-strength geotextile fibers (100% Polypropylene (PP)) sewn into an elliptical shape. Geotube seams are made along the tube’s circumference and filled by pumping sand or soft soil with a hydraulic pump. Geotextile tubes have good scratch resistance and UV resistance, stable even in harsh marine environments and high hydraulic conditions.

Geotubes are typically produced with standard sizes: C6.3-H1.0, C9.5-H1.5, C11.2-H1.8, C12.6-H1.8, C12.6-H2.0, C15.8-H2.5, C22.0-H3.0, with common lengths ranging from 20m to 100m.

ADVANTAGES

High durability and lifespan: Geotube tubes are sewn with high-strength reinforced woven geotextiles made from high-durability Polyester or Polypropylene fibers. Geotubes have high puncture resistance, can withstand high tensile forces and external pressure.  

High permeability: Geotube tubes have good permeability and drainage capabilities. They can effectively filter mud and impurities in water. Suitable for sludge treatment and water filtration.  

Acid and alkali resistance: Geotube tubes are mainly composed of Polyester (PET) or Polypropylene (PP), which have excellent chemical stability. They can withstand various types of acid and alkali solutions to maintain structural integrity and functional stability in acidic and alkaline environments.

High abrasion and burst resistance: Geotubes have good bacterial erosion resistance. Durable and not decomposed by bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms. Maintains performance for a long time, including wet and organic-rich environments.  

UV resistance: Geotubes have UV resistance and anti-aging properties. Can be used for a long time in outdoor environments. Can withstand harsh weather and climate conditions.  

Environmental performance: Geotubes have good corrosion resistance and chemical resistance. Virgin plastic fiber components are environmentally friendly. Do not cause pollution and are safe for users.

Simple and convenient construction: Geotube construction and installation are very simple. Pumping and filling materials into the tube on-site through the fill port. Available fill materials such as soil and sand can be used at the construction site. Minimizes environmental damage.

Flexible sizing: Geotubes are customized to specific project needs to adapt to terrain and individual project designs. They can be stacked and joined to form the shape or structure needed for construction.  

Economic: Compared to traditional methods such as concrete and reinforced steel, Geotube geotextile tube applications have lower costs. Sustainable, low maintenance and upkeep. Saves labor and material costs, etc., effectively. Brings higher economic benefits.
