What are Sand Containers?
Sand containers are flexible geosynthetic materials used to stabilize and protect shoreline and coastal areas. They are made of durable geotextiles filled with sand to create an adaptable and effective protective barrier.
Naue’s sand containers, such as the Secutex® Soft Rock series, are designed to prevent erosion and scour at shorelines and coastal areas. They adapt flexibly to substrate conditions and offer high protection against wave energy and water currents. These properties make them ideal for applications in coastal protection, river regulation, and flood control.
Applications:
- Coastal Protection: Protects against wave energy and erosion.
- River Regulation: Stabilizes riverbeds and banks.
- Flood Control: Prevents flooding and erosion damage.
- Harbour Construction: Protects harbour structures and shorelines.
- Slope Stabilization: Prevents soil erosion and landslides.
- Offshore Wind Farms: Protects foundations against erosion and currents.
Advantages of Sand Containers:
- High Flexibility: Adapts to uneven substrates and movements.
- Long-Term Stability: Resistant to wave energy and water currents.
- Easy Installation: Quick and efficient placement, reducing construction time and costs.
- Eco-Friendly: Uses biodegradable materials like Secutex® Green.
- Sustainability: Reduces environmental footprint with durable and reusable solutions.
Secutex® Soft Rock geotextile sand containers
Also known as sand bags are manufactured from needle-punched Secutex® nonwoven filter geotextiles. Geotextile sand containers (GSC) are made for encapsulating granular material and are used as building element. In addition to single-layer nonwoven GSCs for covered applications, double-layer nonwoven GSCs are available. They have an integrated surface protection made of rough fibres for exposed conditions and are visually well suited for a sandy environment.
