Shore Protection Geotextile Tube -Concept- The ACETube® is a tubular container made by high strength geotextile. It can be filled with in-situ soil to form a firm structure and act as a mean of protection to waterfront access areas. -Application- Shore protection and other public waterfront access areas. It can be applied to construct revetment, breakwater, groin, jetty and so forth. -Characteristics- 1. Customized size available for different applications. 2. A cost-efficient and safe system. 3. Making use of in-situ soil as filling material. 4. Replacing traditional concrete revetment with a more environment-friendly system. 5. Excellent permeability for filtering while retaining soil inside. 6. Durable system with good resistance to salt water, acid and alkali, and ultra violet radiation. 7. Less impact to the surrounding environment. ...See more details at http://www.acegeosyntheticsecopark.com/demonstrations-detail/Geotextile%20Tube -- The official website of the ACE Geosynthetics EcoPark is now online. More than 20 engineering application methods can be found in the park. They can be divided into six groups, including Reinforcement Application, Erosion Control, Shore Protection, Landscape Engineering, Environmental Conservation and Other Constructions. The site covers construction works like mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, road embankments, reinforced pavements, landfills, slope protection, ecological ponds, levees, marine structures, and more. Geosynthetic materials such as geogrids, geotextiles, geotextile tubes, geomats and geomembranes have been used in the building of this park. Geosynthetic products have been in the market for decades. However, many people still do not know what geosynthetics are and what they can do for engineering and construction. The application of geosynthetics can provide more efficient and environmentally friendly approaches to engineering problems. ACE Geosynthetics designed and constructed this full-scale park to demonstrate some practical designs and applications of geosynthetic systems. The park also advocates for lower environmental impact in construction methods. Of course, there is far more for the visitor to discover. Detailed explanations, such as design drawings, 3D models, construction instructions, construction videos, case studies etc. are offered in the website.
