Maritime works: jetties, dykes...

FS have joined executing repairing and construction many seaport, jetties and dykes, special as the dykes using geotube technique at the coastal of Hai Phong and Nam Dinh city.

FS JSC has a team of engineers who are officially trained in the field of construction of marine works such as seaport, jetty,  construction of reinforced concrete piles, piles larsen, construction of dyke body by geotube, construction stone embankment, open canal, construction of lifting platform in shipbuilding ...

FS has built many coastal dykes from traditional technologies such as bamboo poles, PP sandbags, to the latest technology using Geotube.

The construction projects of dykes FS JSC use geotubes to create dyke body in Thinh Long township, Nam Dinh, dykes in the south of Dinh Vu industrial zone, dykes in Cat Hai district.




Geotube

Geotube is made from special geotextile, which is used for dykes for water projects, marine works.

* Structure

Geotube is made from polypropylene (PP) reinforced geotextile, high strength, abrasion resistant and ultraviolet, stable in marine environment and applied to port works, waterway.

Geotube sewing tunnel is made according to the circumference of the hose and is filled by leving sand or mud with hydraulic pump through the filling port.

Geotube tube height H = 1-3m, length up to L = 100m. For installation reasons, the popular length of the Geotube is 25-50m.



* Advantages of geotube

- Can be applied to any coastal terrain;

- Simple construction: Use sand or mud at the construction site to pump into the pipe;

- Low cost;

- Easy maintenance when needed;

- Environmentally friendly materials - Long life.

* Application

- Use in the sea coasters, artificial islands, breakwater, shore protection dykes, , temporary canals


Construction the dyke in the south of Dinh Vu industrial zone by geotube technology

* Construction methods:

Geotube placement along the coast and pumping of sand, Geotube will protect the sand or soil after the dyke body is not eroded under the impact of extreme weather conditions (rain, storm, flood, large waves ...). Geotube allows for the reconstruction of the original natural slope of the beach. Geotube adds sand to the beach by altering the flow of water and the impact of ocean waves;
