Shoreline Erosion Protection

Also, GeoTextile Tubes can be hydraulically or mechanically filled in water depths of up to 15 feet, or filled on dry land. They are UV resistant and are especially important to projects where rocks, concrete or other hard structures are in short supply. Using these tubes and bags can add strength to the coastline, help prevent erosion or act as a sand dune.

Our GeoTextile Tubes and Bags have high strength, UV resistant. Because they are “soft” armored structures, permits are usually easier to obtain than hard armored structures. Southern Dredging & Marine Geotextile Tubes have various marine uses including Breakwaters, Dykes, Dune Cores, Revetments, Shoreline, Reefs and Groynes.

Southern Dredging & Marine offers Engineered Sand Bags which are highly UV resistan, sand-colored, and filled with sand, and will not mar the beauty of the environment. They can replace stone, concrete, or hardened armor systems. The bags are especially useful where there local stone is in shortage. Southern Dredging & Marine’s Engineered Sand Bags are easy to install, whether above and below the water surface.

The bags have easy to fill ports and look good after filling, blending with the environment, and they are a perfect alternative to hard structures. The pleasing looks and ease of installation make the bags the right solution for commercial and industrial marine applications. Geotextile tubes and bags are even for private landowners seeking to protect their waterfront property.
