Construction Productivity Advancement Research (CPAR) Program: Geosynthetic Confined Pressurized Slurry (GeoCoPS): Supplemental Notes for Version 1.0
Construction in environmentally sensitive areas (e.g., wetlands) requires using techniques causing minimum disturbance and damage. One such technique can be achieved with the aid of dikes made of geosynthetic tubes. The flat tube can be placed manually and then be filled with slurry by pumping. The quickly formed dike then may retain water on one side while allowing construction on the other. Over time, vegetation may grow over the tube's exposed surface. Tubes can also be used to contain and cap contaminated soil by forming a working table over very soft soil, thus allowing the construction of an embankment. The scope of this report is limited to the design aspect of selecting a geosynthetic.
