Geotube Shoreline Erosion Solutions

Geotubes for Coastal Protection

Geotubes Beach Erosion

The geotube is an excellent solution for breakwater applications along coastlines, beachfronts, cliffs, and shores. Areas susceptible to erosion often suffer shoreline damage or loss after storms, tides, and constant wave exposure.

Our geotubes for beach erosion are perfect for shoreline erosion protection, dissipating the effects of wave and tide energy. Fabricated using engineered woven and composite fabrics, our geotubes meet differing strength, durability and environmental conditions.

Breakwater Geotube Benefits

  • Specially engineered fabric with advanced textile technologies
  • Economical solution for beach and shoreline erosion
  • Designed with added strength and flexibility for a range of environmental conditions
  • Ideal for a variety of uses such as breakwaters, revetments, dykes and groynes

Breakwater Geotube

Installing geotubes for coastal protection are the first line of defense against incoming waves. They reduce wave energy by partially deflecting waves, as well as by breaking wave energy on the structure. Geotubes are made with fabric of engineered woven or a composite geotextile, depending on the application it is used for. This system is designed with close-ended tubular units, and are attached with filling ports spaced at regular intervals. Installing geotube barriers between the edge of the shore and the water help protect the shoreline, beach, and coastlines from erosion and damage.

How Breakwater Tubes Work

Geotube for coastal protection are one of the most economical beach erosion prevention solutions available. Because they retain sand, silt, and other fine particles, shorelines are able to maintain their natural sand output. These breakwater tubes are made from specifically engineered fabrics that withhold sediment and sand, but allow water to flow through the geotextile tube.


Geotextile tubes for beach erosion used in coastal, shoreline and river conditions are filled hydraulically with a slurry of sand and water. The pressure transports the sand along the inside of the tube, forming a monolithic structure with the compacted sand that can be used in variety of marine applications. (Geotubes are also filled with a combination of a mechanical/hydraulic method.) This unique and stable design allows geotubes to be used on coastlines, shorelines, and cliffs for beach erosion prevention. Areas for breakwater geotubes include:

  • Coastlines with Prime Real Estate
  • Hotel Protection
  • Beachfront Property Home Protection

Dewatering Tube Applications

Dewatering bags and geotubes are used for filtration and other dewatering purposes. Pond dredging and filtering construction site runoff are a few examples of common uses. Other applications include:
