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.
- Cost-Effective Alternative to Traditional Methods
- Minimal Environmental Impact
- Efficient
- High Strength & Stress Resistant
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.
Areas of use include: pulp & paper sludge lagoons, industrial waste lagoons, municipal waste water lagoons, marine/dredging applications, mine tailings and animal waste management.
