What are geo bags?

Geobags are sand-filled high-strength geotextile bags available in the various sizes and are used in riverbank, beach protection and offshore breakwater. Our bag manufacturing unit is one the best bag making units which is equipped with the latest machinery.

How thick is a geotextile?

The 5/16″ thick (. 32″) non-woven geotextile fabric is a heavy-duty fabric that will act as a separation layer between rock and soil while still all…

Is geotextile eco friendly?

The effect of a newly devised surface modification formulation for coir geotextiles on the surrounding environment under various experimental conditions has been studied. The results of the study confirm that the coating is toxic-free and eco-friendly in terms of chemical concentrations and microbial growth.

What is Geotech fabric?

A geotextile is typically defined as any permeable textile material used to increase soil stability, provide erosion control or aid in drainage. Modern geotextiles are usually made from a synthetic polymer such as polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene and polyamides. Geotextiles can be woven, knitted or non-woven.

What are the disadvantages of geotextiles?

There are certain disadvantages to Geotextiles. They are susceptible to blockage by sediments; organic residues; plant roots; fungi and algae; viscous petrochemical compounds and slimes.

What are the types of geotextiles?

Types of Geotextile

• Woven Fabric Geotextiles.
• Non-Woven Geotextiles.
• Knitted Geotextiles.

What are geo bags made of?

The geo bag or Nonwoven Geotextile bag is a geo-synthetic product that is made out of polyester, polypropylene or polyethylene and is used for the protection of hydraulic structures and riverbanks from severe erosion and scouring.

How do Geotubes work?

The geotubes separate the sand accumulated within them from the water which is filtered out. Installation of Geotube® is performed by pumping the water/sand mixture into the sewn container. The geotextile sheet acts as a filter separating the water flowing through it from the soil/sand particles which remain within it.
