Dewatering Bags To Dewater Slugde In A Mine

by Andrew
(Charny, Quebec)

I'm interested in the dewatering bags. Our client is a mine. He produces a slurry of 55% silt and water and carries that slurry for 23 km in a pipe.

At the end he wants to create a solid levee with a system that will let the water out and construct a wall with time with bags piling one over the other. The biggest the bag, the better.

The customer will operate during 15 years up to 7 meters high 200 hectare site. The bags will be left a while on the sun and at the ends will be covered with earth

What do you have to offer as a solution?

We want the biggest dewatering bags you have.

Thanks for asking. We can manufacture a dewatering tube, also known as geo tube, for your needs.

The largest we can offer is 90 foot circumference by 200 feet long. When filled will have a height of 12 - 13 feet. These can be stacked on top of each other.

What happens if the bag is punctured when it is still full of water? How long does it take to empty all its water content? How do we fill the bag?

If the bag is punctured while filled with water, it will leak. If it is filled with sand and has dried, the sand will stay. This fabric dewaters at 14 gallons per square foot per minute. There are multiple 10 inch pipe socks along the top of the tube to insert your fill hose into. The geo tube is made of 4 x 6 polypropylene.
