TenCate Geotube® Systems for Waterways and Impoundments

TenCate Geotube^® Systems are manufactured in our world-class production facilities, and these Geocontainment Systems replace rock in erosion protection works for waterways and impoundments. TenCate has the widest range of engineered fabrics and composites for the fabrication of Geotube^® Geocontainment Systems. These engineered fabrics are designed for strength, robustness, abrasion resistance, UV resistance, etc. for the most demanding of site conditions.

For TenCate Geotube^® Geobag Systems, Sand Filled Mattress Systems and Dyke Systems high tenacity woven polypropylene is used. Special fibres and yarns may be incorporated to form engineered composites for additional engineering functions. For example, TenCate Geotube^® Sand Filled Mattress Systems uses a special “mulch-integrated” composite on the exposed surface to provide a surface environment that will speed up vegetation growth. TenCate Geotube^® Dyke Systems can also be manufactured with a coarse grain fibre substrate that enhances resistance to sand abrasion, debris impact resistance, etc.

For TenCate Geotube^® Concrete Mattress Systems and Silt Curtain Systems, special pore size and high strength woven polyester fabrics which give good drape properties are used. When it comes to protecting your waterway and impoundment surfaces, TenCate Geotube^® Systems have you well covered.
