Geotextile tubes are used in dewatering and shoreline protection projects by acting as containment structures for sediment, sludge, or water. They are typically filled with the material to be contained, and the permeable geotextile fabric allows water to drain out while retaining the solids. This dewatering process helps in removing excess water and reducing the volume of the material, making it easier to handle and dispose of. Additionally, when used for shoreline protection, geotextile tubes act as a barrier against erosion, preventing sediment from washing away and maintaining the stability of the shoreline.
Geotextile tubes are used in dewatering and shoreline protection projects by acting as containment structures. These tubes are filled with sediment-laden water or sludge and allow the water to gradually drain out through the geotextile fabric, leaving behind dewatered solids. This dewatering process helps to reduce the volume and weight of the material while also increasing the stability of the shoreline. The geotextile fabric used in these tubes acts as a filter, allowing water to pass through while retaining the solid particles. Additionally, the tubes can be stacked and placed strategically to create a barrier for shoreline protection, preventing erosion and maintaining the integrity of the shoreline.
