Site construction dewatering of sediment and lagoon sludge can be expensive and time-consuming. Environmental contamination can make the process even more arduous and expensive. Many sludge dewatering options are available including filter presses, dryers, confined disposal areas and chemical dewatering. US Fabrics geotextile tubes can be an economical alternative to these costly construction sludge dewatering methods.

Geotextile tubes (a.k.a Dewatering Tubes) are increasing in popularity
for construction sludge dewatering because
they are cost effective and result in minimal
environmental impact. Oftentimes,
the filtered water can be discharged into local
streams or drainage systems. Geotextile tubes have proven extremely
efficient for containment and dewatering of
industrial waste, municipal sludge, pulp and
paper sludge, marine sediments and other
pump slurries bi-products.
Fabricated geotextile tubes are used in environmental remediation and on civil engineering projects including tunneling, bridge construction, wetland reclamation, shoreline protection, groynes, breakwaters and containment of solid particles from animal waste.

US Fabrics sludge dewatering tubes are constructed of high strength permeable geotextiles that allow water to drain through the openings while retaining the sludge. They will work with any material that is hydraulically transported. US Fabrics sludge dewatering tubes are resistant to ultra-violet light and the stresses associated with filling and placement, including abrasion, tearing, puncturing and flattening.
