Geotextile tubes, also known as geotubes, are used in dewatering applications to effectively separate solids from water. These large, cylindrical containers are filled with sediment-laden water and as the water flows through the permeable geotextile fabric, it is filtered and drained, leaving behind the solid particles. The retained solids remain trapped within the geotube, while the water is released, resulting in dewatered sediment that can be easily disposed of. Geotextile tubes provide a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly solution for dewatering projects, such as shoreline protection, sediment control, and sludge management.
Geotextile tubes work in dewatering applications by allowing water to be separated from sludge or sediment. The tubes are filled with the material to be dewatered, and as water passes through the permeable geotextile fabric, it is filtered out while the solid particles are retained inside the tube. The remaining sludge or sediment can then be easily disposed of, while the filtered water can be discharged or reused.
Geotextile tubes work in dewatering applications by containing and separating solids from water. The tubes are filled with slurry, which allows water to pass through the geotextile fabric while retaining the solid particles. As the water drains, the solids are left behind, resulting in dewatering of the site or containment of sediments.
