MillerTube® Geotextile Tube Composite
Our Geotextile Tube Composite is designed to increase the useable life of geotextiles. It is made up of an outer layer of high-strength geotextile fabric and an inner layer of geomembrane. This combination creates a robust and reliable material that can be used in a variety of applications, including erosion control, shoreline protection, and flood control. It is designed to be durable, weather-resistant, and easy to install. Additionally, it is environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
A geotextile tube composite is a type of geotextile that is made up of two or more layers of different materials. The most common type of geotextile tube composite is made up of a woven geotextile and a nonwoven geotextile. The woven geotextile provides strength and reinforcement, while the nonwoven geotextile provides filtration and drainage.
Geotextile tube composites are used in a variety of applications, including:
Dewatering. Geotextile tube composites can be used to dewater slurries and other materials that contain a high amount of water. The nonwoven geotextile layer allows water to pass through, while the woven geotextile layer prevents the particles from passing through.
Containment. Geotextile tube composites can be used to contain materials that are hazardous or that could pollute the environment. The nonwoven geotextile layer prevents the particles from escaping, while the woven geotextile layer provides strength and reinforcement.
Stabilization. Geotextile tube composites can be used to stabilize slopes and embankments. The nonwoven geotextile layer helps to bind the soil particles together, while the woven geotextile layer provides strength and reinforcement.
Direct burial: Geotextile tube composites can be buried directly in the soil.
Placing in a trench: Geotextile tube composites can be placed in a trench and then covered with soil.
Anchoring with stakes: Geotextile tube composites can be anchored with stakes to prevent them from moving.
Geotextile tube composites are a versatile and effective material that can be used in a variety of applications. They are strong, durable, and easy to install.
Here are some of the benefits of using geotextile tube composites:
Strength: Geotextile tube composites are strong and durable. They can withstand a lot of stress and strain, making them ideal for use in demanding applications.
Drainage: Geotextile tube composites are excellent at drainage. The nonwoven geotextile layer allows water to pass through, while the woven geotextile layer prevents the particles from passing through. This makes them ideal for use in dewatering applications.
Filtration: Geotextile tube composites are also excellent at filtration. The nonwoven geotextile layer prevents particles from passing through, which can help to prevent erosion and contamination.
Cost-effectiveness: Geotextile tube composites are a cost-effective solution for a variety of applications. They are relatively inexpensive to purchase and install, and they can save money in the long run by preventing erosion and contamination.
Environmentally friendly: Geotextile tube composites are made from recycled materials and are biodegradable, making them an environmentally friendly choice.
If you are considering using geotextile tube composites, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
The type of geotextile tube composite you need will depend on the specific application.
Geotextile tube composites should be installed properly in order to be effective.
Geotextile tube composites need to be maintained regularly to ensure that they are working properly.
If you are unsure about which type of geotextile tube composite to use or how to install it, you should consult with a qualified professional.
