Synopsis

Geotextile containment has been used in a wide variety of hydraulic and marine engineering applications for many years. One of its forms is geotextile tubes, which is a long, tubular, sausage-like unit that can be formed in situ on land or in water. The geotextile tubes are made of permeable yet sand tight geotextile which allows hydraulic filling of sand into it. Geotextile tubes are often used for a range of marine engineering applications including revetments, offshore breakwaters, protection dykes, containment dykes, training walls and groynes.

The speaker will share the design methodology of geotextile tubes with reference to three project case studies in Vietnam and Malaysia. The first case study will be on the usage of geotextile tubes for the construction of Lach Huyen bridge, the longest sea-crossing bridge in Vietnam. The second case study will be on the geotextile tubes containment dyke constructed for the land reclamation in Deep C 2, part of the Deep C Industrial Zone. Lastly, the third case study will be on Sri Tanjung Pinang 2, Penang land reclamation. As the geotextile tubes are exposed to an external environment throughout the construction period, it is crucial to ensure the geotextile tubes exhibit high resistance to UV degradation and weathering. The geotextile samples are extracted from sites to examine its durability.
