Geotube, also known as geotextile mattress or geotextile bag, is a type of geosynthetic container made from permeable geotextile fabric. It is commonly used in various civil engineering and environmental applications for containment, dewatering, and erosion control purposes.

Technical indicators

Application

1. Coastal protection against erosion: used as temporary or permanent breakwaters and groynes to slow down wave erosion.

2. River tidal flats promote siltation: Filling with sediment accelerates tidal flat siltation and is used for wetland restoration or land reclamation.

3. Industrial sludge dehydration: Treat sludge from sewage treatment plants and chemical plants to achieve harmless reduction.

4. Dredged silt solidification: Dehydrate and solidify the dredged silt in rivers and ports to facilitate transportation and resource utilization.

5. Mine and tailings management: Anti-seepage reinforcement of tailings reservoirs, or filling of tailings sand to form a stable dam.

6. Agriculture and salt field projects: construction of salt field dams and breeding pond cofferdams to prevent salt water leakage.

7. Disaster emergency: Quickly build temporary flood embankments to block the flow of water during floods or dam breaks.

8. Ecological restoration: fill with planting soil and seeds for slope greening or ecological island construction

Features

1. Efficient dehydration and consolidation: Quickly discharge the water in sludge or sediment, accelerate consolidation, reduce volume, and reduce subsequent processing costs.

2. High strength and durability: high tensile strength (up to more than 200kN/m), acid and alkali resistance, UV resistance, and long service life.

3. Flexible and customizable: The diameter and length of the pipe bag are adjustable (common diameters are 1 to 5 meters, and the length can reach dozens of meters) to adapt to different engineering needs.

4. Environmental protection and energy saving: replacing traditional cofferdams or concrete structures, reducing carbon emissions, and there is no secondary pollution during the construction process.

5. Convenient construction: no need for large machinery, direct filling and pumping, suitable for complex terrain or water operations.
