Coastal Protection

Geotextiles are a type of synthetic fabric that is used in a variety of engineering applications, including coastal protection. When used in coastal protection, geotextiles are typically placed on or near the shore to help stabilize the sand and prevent erosion.

Geotextiles can be used in a variety of coastal protection applications, such as beach nourishment, dune stabilization, and seawall construction. Overall, high quality, robust geotextiles are needed to withstand the challenging coastal environments. BontexGeo’s Protec and SNW materials are made to be robust solutions and have been successfully used across the world in coastal projects, improving construction and reducing costs, while lowering the environmental impact of such projects.

For example, in beach nourishment projects, geotextiles are often used to help hold the new sand in place, preventing it from being washed away by waves and currents. In dune stabilization projects, geotextiles are used to help hold the dune in place, protecting the beach and nearby properties from storm surge and wave damage. This can be also be achieved by installing geotextile nonwoven containers, filled with sand to stabilize the beach or the base of a dune.
