Skempton is a supplier of Geotextile Tubes, also known as Geotubes. Geotextile Tubes are large, tubular containers made from a high-strength, permeable geotextile fabric. They are used in various applications to provide erosion control, shoreline protection, and sediment dewatering.

​

Geotextile Tubes are is typically filled with sand, sediment, or other materials to create a stable, protective barrier against waves, currents, and other erosive forces. The geotextile fabric allows water to pass through while retaining the contents of the tube, making it an effective solution for dewatering and containing sediment and other materials.

​

One of the advantages of tubes is their flexibility and adaptability to different environments and applications. They can be used in various settings, including beaches, shorelines, and riverbanks, and can be tailored to specific needs and requirements.

​

Geotextile Tubes are also relatively easy to install and maintain and can be filled and shaped to meet specific design goals. They are a cost-effective alternative to traditional erosion control measures such as seawalls and bulkheads. They can be combined with other geosynthetic materials for enhanced performance and durability.

​

Overall, Geotextile Tubes are a versatile and effective solution for erosion control, shoreline protection, and sediment dewatering, providing a durable and sustainable option for managing and protecting natural environments.
