Geobags/Geotextile bags
Geobags or geotextile bags are versatile and highly robust engineered containers used to protect coastal and inland waterways from erosion. The material of the geobag containers can consist of either an engineered woven or a composite fabric depending on the application requirements and are combined with high capacity seams to produce pillow shaped containers.
Material: Geobags are made from a variety of materials, including polypropylene, polyester, and nylon. The material of the bag will affect its strength, durability, and cost.
Weight: Geobags can weigh a significant amount, so it is important to choose a bag that is strong enough to support the weight of the material it will be holding.
Geobags can also be custom-made to fit specific needs.
For example, a manufacturer may create a geobag that is specifically designed to hold a certain amount of material or to fit into a specific space.
The volume of a geobag while completely filled can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of the bag. For example, a 1.2m x 1.2m x 0.5m geobag has a volume of 0.33 cubic meters.
The volume of a geobag is important to consider when choosing a bag for a specific application. For example, a geobag that is too small will not be able to hold enough material, while a geobag that is too large will be more expensive and may be difficult to transport.
● Excellent armor for erosion protection. Ideal for revetments and other hydraulic structures
● Versatile and highly robust engineered prefabricated to required sizes
● Three-dimensional fabric enhances soil entrapment and vegetation growth
● Reduces carbon footprint
● Cost effective and easy to install
● Geobags are available in biege and green options
Factors That Can Affect The Price Of A Geo Bag:
Type of geobag: Geobags are made from a variety of materials, including polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyester. The type of material used will affect the price of the geobag. Polypropylene geo bags are typically the most expensive, while polyester geobags are the least expensive.
Size of geobag: Geobags come in a variety of sizes. The size of the geo bag will affect the price. Larger geo bags will be more expensive than smaller geobags.
Location of geobag: The location of the geobag will also affect the price. Geobags that are located in more remote areas will be more expensive to transport, which will increase the price.
Coastal Protection is used to prevent coastline erosion and retreat to preserve natural landscapes, protect housing, and provide safety to on-shore infrastructure.
○ Dam and Levees
Dams and Levees are used to prevent flooding, enable construction to occur within calm water, storage of water, and to provide protection from storm activity.
Inland Waterway Protection prevents erosion and shoreline retreat of any of the waters (as lakes, canals, rivers, watercourses, inlets, and bays) within the territory of an individual country.
○ Ports and Harbours
Ports and Harbors provide locations on a coast or shore where ships can dock, transfer people or cargo to or from land, and provide shelter from inclement weather.
