Regarding various geotubes
Geotubes are geotextiles made by weaving various types of polypropylene monofilaments, either individually or in combination, and then cut and sewn into tubular bag bodies which possess filtration and water permeability functions. According to the type of geotextile, Polypropylene geotubes are classified into PP high-toughness geotubes, PP woven fabric geotubes, and PP filament woven geotextiles geotubes.

Our products cover the above three types of geotubes. Product specifications of each type can be further classified into several series ranging from 50 to 300KN/m based on different nominal tensile strengths.

Customized For Clients
Customize products to meet your project needs
- Based on the needs of engineering projects such as application scenarios, characteristics of the treated objects, environmental requirements, on-site conditions and project scale, determine the specification types and performance indicators of geotubes.
- The tensile strength of geotubes typically ranges from 45 to 300kN/m, and the selection also depends on the filling pressure and external loads in the specific engineering project.
- The key to the dewatering function of geotubes lies in the equivalent pore size, which must be determined based on the particle size distribution of the material being treated.
- After determining the type, we will need to confirm the length, cross-sectional perimeter and the position and quantity of filling ports, etc.
- If there are any other special requirements, such as puncture resistance, multi-layer composite structures, and label application, etc., we offer professional and patient pre-sale services to meet the client's requirements.
Production Process And Quality Control
Welcome to our Production Process page. You’ll discover the meticulous steps we take in crafting high-quality geotube products. Learning our production methods is key to understanding the quality and durability of our products.
Step 1: PP filament drawing
PP resin is processed into flat filaments or continuous filaments through melting, extrusion, and drawing. This step determines the basic strength and toughness of the geotextile. We use virgin PP resin and strictly control the draw ratio to ensure monofilament strength, laying the foundation for the high-strength subsequent fabric.
Step 2: Warping
Warping involves evenly and neatly winding hundreds of drawn warp yarns onto warp axis according to the process. The warping uniformity determines the fabric’s flatness and strength distribution. Our warping machine is equipped with an automatic tension control system that ensure consistent tension and uniform strength across every warp yarn.
Step 3: Weaving base fabric
Using a loom, the warp and weft yarns are interwoven into cloth to form a geotextile fabric with certain pore size, thickness, and strength. The weaving process determines the structural stability, equivalent pore size, and permeability of the fabric. We can adjust the warp and weft density, customize the equivalent pore size to balance soil retention and dewatering rate according to client requirements for pore size, weight and strength.
Step 4: Base Fabric Inspection
A inspection of the appearance and physical properties of the finished basis fabric is conducted, including broken threads, holes, stains, fabric width, weight, and density of warp and weft, etc. All basis fabric undergoes online testing and first-piece confirmation to promptly identify and eliminate substandard products, ensuring that the quality of the fabric entering the sewing process meets requirements.
Step 5: Sewing and Shaping
According to the product parameters of customer requirement, multi-layer or single-layer raw fabric is sewn into a tubular bag shape using high-strength sewing techniques, and a filling tubes port is sewn onto it at the specified position. As the seam strength is the weakest link of geotube, we adopt 6-needle sewing method or special high-strength sewing process to ensure the requirement of seam strength.
Step 6: Quality inspection and shipment
Finished geotubes undergo a comprehensive inspection, including mechanical properties, dimensions, sewing quality, and labeling, etc., then are packaged and shipped only after passing the tests. We conduct quality inspections in strict accordance with relevant standards to ensure that the delivered products meet the requirements of the contract and technical documentation.

Common Questions
Some Popular Questions about Geotubes
We’ve listed some questions you might have. If you have any further questions about our products, please feel free to contact us by sending an inquiry.
What is the working principle of geotubes?
Geotube is a type of geotextile wrapping system, and its core feature lies in that the fabric has a specific equivalent pore size that allows water to flow out while effectively retaining solid particles. The working principle of geotubes can be summarized as a three-stage process: filling, dewatering, and consolidation.
Filling: The slurry, industrial sludge, or dredged materials to be treated is mixed with high-molecular flocculants in a certain ratio and then filled into the pre-laid geotubes using a high-pressure pump.
Dewatering: Solid-liquid separation is achieved through two key mechanisms of geotube: first, the fabric’s inherent pore structure, which intercept particles, and second, the pressure generated by the liquid inside the bag, which drives water to flow out through the fabric.
Consolidation: The solid matter remaining in the bag gradually compacts and solidifies under the continuous effect of gravity and drying, eventually forming soil-like mass that can be further treatment or resourcefully utilized. It can usually reduce the volume of solid matter in the bag by more than 90%.
What raw materials are used to manufacture our geotubes?
Our geotubes products are made of 100% virgin polypropylene resin and never mixed with recycled materials. Avoid the problems of reduced strength and accelerated aging of recycled materials due to impurities.
How durable are PP geotubes? How to extend its service life?
The service life of PP geotubes is usually 10 to 20 years. The specific duration may vary significantly due to differences in usage environment, material quality, and construction and maintenance. For example, it may be used once for temporary projects such as sludge dewatering, while for permanent structures like coastal protection, its service life can exceed 50 years when installed embedded.
To extend the service life of PP geotubes, the following measures can be taken:
- Select geotubes made of high-quality materials to enhance durability from the source.
- Standardize construction and installation, avoid damaging the geotubes during laying, or lay a buffer layer of geotextile fabric on the contact surface.
- Control the speed and pressure when filling the bags to avoid rupture due to impact or excessive pressure.
- Perform routine maintenance and regular inspections, and clean up surface debris and silt to prevent localized corrosion caused by long-term adhesion.
- Ensure adequate protection for harsh usage environment, consider adding additional protective layers as appropriate.
What is the price per square meter and its construction cost for geotubes?
The regular price of PP high-toughness geotubes ranges from XX to YY USD per square meter.
Product prices may vary significantly depending on raw materials, size specifications, purchase volume and customization degree, etc. Especially recently, the price of PP resin particles has fluctuated greatly due to the international oil prices. Please contact us for a more accurate and detailed quote!
What types of slurry can geotubes handle? How effective is the dewatering?
Geotubes can be used to handle including various sludge or slurry materials, such as dredged sediment from rivers and lakes, municipal sludge, industrial sludge from the chemical and textiles dyeing industries, wastewater from agriculture and livestock farming, and fly ash slurry etc.
The effective of dewatering can achieve a reduction of over 90% in sludge volume within one month, the removal rate of suspended solids (SS) can exceed 90%, and the pollutants in the filtered water can be reduced by 90% to 95%.
