Geotextile Tube Installations

IAI has installed miles of geotextile tube structures over shorelines and in shallow waters, to protect wetlands and beaches from erosion, and to create dunes in areas eroded by hurricanes.

IAI has also installed geotextile tubes to expand dikes and berms around impoundments.  We have an excellent track record of filling geotextile tubes to precise elevations and geotemetries, creating walls and containment rings from filled tubes.  These installations not only increase impoundment capacity by raising the berm or dike elevation, but they also provide a disposal option for the impounded sediment or waste material (such as coal ash).

Below are some examples of our wetland, shoreline and impoundments geotextile tube installations.
