Case Studies

Scope of the job

Constructed of Propex® Geotex® 4x6 geotextile, ENVIROTUBES were used to connect an island to shore, re-directing a tributary to flush a backwater behind the island. This was needed to wash smelly sediment out into the river.

The ENVIROTUBES also created a spoil area for dredged material from deepening the river.

The tubes were filled with course and find grain material from the river. The tubes were filled with a hydraulic dredge and a mixer box fed with an excavator and pumped into the tube.

The scour aprons were anchored with pumped anchor tubes.
