Dewatering Products

Geotextile tubes are similar to dewatering bags in purpose and design. The main difference between the two is size and material. Geotubes feature significantly larger specifications, as well as a stronger woven geotextile fabric. For cities and counties, dewatering tubes work well at wastewater treatment plants, filtering contaminants from the local water supply.

In coastal areas, geotextile tubes are also used for breakwater applications. Many beaches and coastlines suffer from water erosion as strong waves and tides hit the area. Breakwater tubes add an extra line of defense, helping shores retain much of their natural sand. They are available in both black and tan woven geotextile materials, so the tubes can either blend in with their surroundings or have high visibility.

To filter pollutants directly from pipes or hoses, dewatering socks offer an easy solution. The filter socks are available in diameters ranging from 4 inches to 16 inches to fit most lines or ducts. Once clamped around an opening, 5 feet of material catches sediment, silt, and other contaminants before releasing clean water. dewatering socks work well to filter stormwater as it flows through roof downspouts off municipal buildings.
