Geotextile Tube is an innovative technology which can be used as core of a breakwater structure to address shoreline abrasion problem. One of the advantages of Geotextile Tubes is the use of sand fill material which is available in most project sites. Another significant advantage of the Geotextile Tube system is simple and fast in installation.
A filled Geotextile Tube is a solid structure whilst prevent wave energy's continuing through the breakwater core. When it is combined with rocks and concrete armor units, Geotextile Tubes Breakwater becomes an effective structure in absorbing wave energy thus preventing shoreline abrasion.
