New Geotextile Developments with Mechanically-Bonded Nonwoven Sand Containers as Soft Coastal Structures
The idea of containing soil materials in geotextile units made of nonwoven needle-punched geotextiles have lead to highly visible projects in coastal and hydraulic engineering considering the soft coastal protection philosophy. The completion of the Australian Gold Coast artificial (surfing) reef made of individually installed geotextile sand containers (up to 400 tonnes weight each) shows a pioneering coastal protection solution without use of any traditional construction elements like rock, steel or concrete. Economic geotextile construction elements for groynes, erosion control, dune revetments and scour stabilization demonstrate that geotextile sand containers with a minimum impact on the environment can provide an flexible alternative to traditional materials.
