ToggleThis product is made of Filament woven geotextiles. It can be made of PP or PET according to different usage scenarios. It is a highly flexible product with high UV resistance.
It can be used in many hydraulic and marine projects. such as revetments, breakwaters rubble breakwaters. tubular containmentstructures, etc.Even in harsh conditions, It can be easily installed. And after the completion of construction, it has durableperformance.
First, the mixture (usually composed of water, sand or sludge) is injected into the geotube. The water in the mixture is discharged through the gaps by utilizing the water permeability characteristics of the product, leaving the sediment in the bag, and the water in the mixture is discharged. Later, workers can remove the remaining sediment and discard it or use it for other purposes.
The use of geotube as a dam to promote siltation greatly shortens the construction period compared with dam construction using other materials. Although the short-term investment cost of this geosynthetic material is slightly higher than that of ordinary geotextiles, due to its strong UV resistance, Not easy to age and tough Strong resistance, so the service life of the dam is longer, so maintenance can be saved The number and cost of maintenance and its social and economic benefits are immeasurable Quantitative.
