Application of Geotube as Environmental Friendly Solution

Rising water levels, higher waves and more frequent storms and heavy rainfalls are increasingly impacting shorelines along coastal areas and inland waterways, river banks and embankments. Many of these areas are experiencing serious erosion and loss of land that is threatening life, property, infrastructure and natural environments. Geotextile tube (geotube) systems are a proven alternative to conventional management approaches and are used worldwide to provide reliable and resilient remediation of contaminated sites, water resource engineering, wastewater treatment, waste handling and storage, pollution control, coastal reconstruction, protection and preservation, flood control, etc. This technology is cost-effective, easy to install, highly versatile and help us to conserve resources and protect the environment. The use of geotube as sludge dewatering application can readily meet the need of a growing wastewater treatment plants. This paper is based on some of the key application of geotubes as environmental friendly solution.
