Dewatering Filter Tubes

Canal and River Dredging – Canals and rivers are important parts of the transport infrastructure in many cities and counties across the United States. Keeping sludge and mud build up under control allows boats and ships to move freely without the danger of getting stuck and prevents flooding. The dewatering tube filters the sludge that is removed from the waterway.

Beach Erosion Prevention – There are a number of ways parks and recreation or other preservation departments try to prevent beach erosion. Our geotubes for erosion control can be used as breakwater tubes along the coastline, interrupting the force of the waves and helping keep sand on the beach. Instead of crashing endlessly against the sand and taking it out to sea, breakwater tubes filled with sand take the brunt of the impact. Coastal cities keep their beaches intact and safe for residents and tourists to enjoy.

Environmental Protection – Sensitive ecosystems, such as lagoons and marshes, exist in many counties and municipalities. Most are protected by local, state, and federal regulations for endangered animals, plants, and environments. It's up to local governments to keep pollutants and other debris out of the water. Sludge tubes work well to extract any contaminants while leaving clean water and not interfering with nearby wildlife.
