Geotextile tubes Hydrotube<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0are an efficient solution for the erosion control, hydraulic protection and sludge dewatering<\/strong> in infrastructure and mining projects.\u00a0
Its performance depends directly on a correct process of installation and filling<\/strong>This guarantees the stability of the structure and the retention of solids.<\/p>\n

Below, we share with you 5 key tips for successful filling of Hydrotubes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

1. Prepare the support surface<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hydrotube performance begins with a firm, level foundation.
The surface must be free of roots, stones or sharp elements that could damage the geotextile.<\/p>\n

In hydraulic structures<\/strong>In order to prevent the installation of an anti-socavation blanket, it is essential to install a properly tensioned anti-socavation blanket, with industrial stitching or overlapping, and with ballasts to prevent displacements.<\/p>\n

In dehydration applications<\/strong>In addition, a confinement system with geomembrane and protective geotextile is recommended, together with a granular drainage bed to collect and convey the effluent water.<\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f Benefit<\/strong>This preparation reduces the risk of differential settlements and guarantees uniformity in the load.<\/p>\n

2. Control the quality of the filling material<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The structural and functional success of the Hydrotube depends on the quality of the material:<\/p>\n
