TenCate Geosynthetics provides a wide range of geotextile and containment solutions for many types of marine structures including revetments, dykes and levees, jetty and groynes, breakwaters, and offshore structures.

Marine Structure Products

Geotube® Marine

The Geotube® system involves the fabrication of close-ended tubular products attached with filling ports at regularly spaced intervals. The Geotube® containers are hydraulically filled with a slurry mix of sand and water and the hydraulic pressure will transport sand along the inside of the tube. Water will dissipate through the permeable engineered fabric, while sand will settle out within the container by gravity. A monolithic structure with compacted sand is formed and used in variety of marine applications.

Geocontainers®

Geocontainer® units are specially designed to be filled before being placed in the water. Special split bottom barges are used to fill the containers. After filling the barge moves to the proper position and the bottom opens, the container slides through and settles to the bottom. Containers can be placed in position with a high degree of accuracy to create underwater structures.

Mirafi® FW-Series

Mirafi® FW-Series geotextiles are highly UV stabilized, woven filtration geotextiles that are manufactured with unique monofilament yarns for use in Water Infrastructure and Drainage projects such as below grade drainage systems, rip rap and concrete revetment systems.
