VideoCast | Geotextile Coastal Protection Tubes

In this VideoCast we explain how geotextile coastal protection tubes work and where they are applied. The tubes for coastal and bank protection are large-size geosynthetic containers installed for the purpose of preventing erosion in hydraulic engineering.

Is it designed in hilly sinking zone and can be placed on river bank

Is this designed to withstand a moving loads such as heavy equipment ?

[@HUESKERGroup]

We typically do not recommend the tubes to be driven over directly. A cushion layer (with graded rock /gravel) should be made before the tubes are driven over with heavy equipment. A non-woven geotextile protection layer should be placed between the cushion layer and tubes to protect the tubes from the sharp edges of the rocks. For detailed design, the expected load, application, and type of equipment used would be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require further support. Your HUESKER-Team.

Applicable for a small island?

[@HUESKERGroup]

First of all sorry for our very late response! Yes, it is possible to build small islands out of the tubes. We do have references of exactly this application. Please contact us via [e-mail] in order to exchange the references.
