Geotube Installation Process

The Geotube Installation Process

First, clear effluent water is drained, leaving the solid within the container. Once full, the containers are disposed of at a landfill, or sludge can be removed. The geotube installation process involves three steps:

1. Filling

The dredged material is pumped into the geotube container. Environmentally friendly polymers are introduced into the sludge, which makes the coagulate and water separate.

2. Dewatering

Clear effluent fluid drains from the geotube container through the small pores of a specially engineered textile. Consequently, an effective dewatering and efficient volume reduction of the contained materials occurred.

An approximate 99% of the solids are captured, and a clear filtrate is collected and recirculated through the system.

3. Consolidation

After the final cycle of filling and dewatering, the coagulate is left in the bag and continues to densify. This results in desiccation as the residual water vapor escapes through the fabric.

The projects are implemented using appropriate technology. With the use of high strength geotextile fabric and sand filled mattresses.

This technology has emerged as an effective means of protecting riverbanks from erosion. This is also implemented with a long term perspective and a focus on sustainability.

In Closing

The riverbank erosion protection projects with sandfill mattresses and geotube installation provide a sustainable solution. This cost-effective and low-maintenance technology is easy to install and provides long-lasting stability while minimizing the need for rock or concrete structures.
