Geostructures are flexible, tube-shaped structures made from high-strength woven geotextile. Their cross-section is oval, and the diameter and length are determined according to project requirements.

​

The high-modulus woven geotextile, known as geostructures, is designed to retain soil particles while allowing water to escape. These geostructures feature multiple injection ports based on their length, typically aligned at the top and spaced no more than 7 meters apart. The ports are used for both filling and relieving tension caused by excess water.

​

In recent years, geostructures have found extensive application in the design and construction of containment fills, such as dikes, where the fill material is typically dredged soil (preferably sands). Numerous projects may not have been feasible without the use of geostructures, which offer technical and economic advantages, including simplicity of construction, cost benefits, and reduced environmental impact, as they often utilize on-site materials, minimizing the need for quarry exploitation and material transportation.

 

Main Applications:

• Riverbank protection

• River channel elements

• Coastal applications

• Artificial islands

• Construction of underwater dikes and berms

• Storage of contaminated materials

• Construction of artificial islands

• Containment of hydraulic fills

Geostructures have heights ranging from 1 meter (H = 1 m) to 2.40 meters (H = 2.40 m) and widths between 2.45 meters (w = 2.45 m) and 6.50 meters (w = 6.50 m). They can be stacked on top of each other to achieve the desired height for the containment structure.
