Geotubes Dewatering

Geotechnical materials are various artificial synthetic materials used in civil engineering together with soil, rock or other materials. They mainly include geotextiles, geomembranes, geonets, geogrids, etc., which are used to prevent soil loss, strengthen soil structure, control water flow and other purposes.

• Purpose (such as anti-seepage, reinforcement, drainage, etc.)
• Soil type (such as sand, clay, etc.)
• Working environment (such as wet or dry, acid-base environment, etc.)
• Bearing requirements (such as the load borne)

• Highway and railway engineering: such as road reinforcement, drainage system, etc.
• Water conservancy projects: such as dam anti-seepage, river protection, etc.
• Environmental protection: such as anti-seepage of landfills, isolation of pollutants, etc.
• Construction projects: such as foundation reinforcement, settlement control, etc.

• Geotextile: It is a porous material, mainly used for soil filtration, separation or reinforcement.
• Geomembrane: It is a non-porous material, usually used for anti-seepage to prevent water or other liquids from penetrating.

Regular inspection for damage or aging. Make sure that the seams of geotextiles and membranes are not loose or broken.
Remove debris from the material to maintain its normal function.

The life of geotextiles is affected by many factors, including material type, environmental conditions and usage. Generally speaking, high-quality geotextiles can be used for 10 to 50 years, or even longer, but they need regular inspection and maintenance.

Most geotextiles are environmentally friendly because they can be recycled or reused. Some materials, such as geomembranes, may require special treatment after long-term use, but overall they have a positive effect on the environment in improving soil stability and reducing soil erosion.

The installation method of geotextiles varies according to the type of material and the application area. General steps include:

• Prepare the foundation and ensure that the ground is flat.
• Arrange and lay the geotextile or membrane according to the design requirements.
• Pay attention to the joint treatment of the material to avoid leakage or displacement.
• Reinforce the geonet or geogrid as needed.

The price of geotextiles will vary according to factors such as type, specification, quality and purchase quantity. Generally speaking, the price of geotextiles and geomembranes will be affected by the material (such as polyester, polypropylene, etc.) and thickness. Please consult the supplier for specific prices.
