Geotextile Tubes®
Large-format coastal protection tubes for coastal and shore protection
Geotextile Tubes Tubes are large-format geosynthetic containers that can be used to build continuous, positionally stable barriers on coastal and shore sections. As a system, a configuration guarantees positionally stable and scour-free protection beneath the tube, even in very soft subsoils and erosion-prone locations.
The scour protection mat, made of a ribbon cloth and anchor tubes, prevents erosion and scour beneath the Geotextile Tubes Tubes. The scour protection mat is optimally protected from possible undercutting by integrated anchor hoses and guarantees its positional stability.
The geosynthetic fabric of the Geotextile Tubes Tubes, which was specially developed for sustainable coastal protection solutions, is characterised by its high robustness during installation as well as its long-term abrasion resistance. The sand-coloured cover of the tubes can be integrated visually into the landscape and is also quickly colonised underwater by maritime flora and fauna. The use of geotextile coastal protection tubes is completely harmless. This is demonstrated both in practice and by scientific evidence.
Benefits Geotextile Tubes
- Sustainable coastal protection thanks to economic and ecological advantages
- Rapid colonisation by maritime flora and fauna
- Saving of cost-intensive material transports by using local use of local materials as fillers
- High positional stability
- Flexible system configuration enables versatile application possibilities
- High UV resistance and abrasion resistance
Geotextile Tube
- Fabric or composite geotextile tubes cover specially developed and tested for use in modern hydraulic engineering
- Factory-fitted rigid or flexible filler pipe
- Locally available materials can easily be used as fill material
Geotextile Tube System
- The tubes can additionally be combined with a scour protection mat as a coastal protection system
- The scour protection mat prevents scouring and undermining of the tube
