Geotextile Tubes Provide Coastal Erosion Protection in Ecuador.

ENVIROTUBE Structural Applications

Tubes placed parallel to the shoreline provide lasting protection against coastal erosion problems.

Carefully fabricated into cylinders, geotextile tubes are hydraulically filled with sand or other materials to provide an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternatives to conventional hard armor structures like concrete or rock. In shoreline protection applications, tubes provide an effective structure to dissipate storm and wave energy and deflect erosive hydraulic forces. ENVIROTUBES have far less impact on the environment than conventional methods.

ENVIROTUBES are designed for use along coastal shorelines, stream banks and wetland perimeters for protection against storms, currents and other erosive forces. ENVIROTUBES represent a complete system for erosion management and environmental restoration. ENVIROTUBES are also used as river diversion structures and for flood control.

When used along shorelines, our high performance tubes are filled with dredged material or sand and installed to shield against wave action, high tides and currents. When covered, geotextile tubes create a resilient core for vegetated dunes to protect upland property and infrastructure from erosion and storm damage. They can also be placed perpendicular to the shoreline as jetties and groins to redirect or trap sediment.
