Geo Tubes For Large Amount Of Silt In Inlet And Outlet Tunnels

by Sonny
(Connecticut, USA)

We are in the midst of a large dewatering project at a Pump and Storage Hydroelectric Station. We have a large amount of silt in the inlet and outlet tunnels.

One option we are exploring is to pump out to open ground, but we must have control of the silt after it is pumped out.

What is the largest capacity bags and what pressures and flow rates can they withstand?

Maybe we could stack and move later. Can the full tubes be stacked?

What is the bursting strength of the tubes?

Could your company custom make bags larger than 100' with a short lead time?

Our calculations currently suggest we are dealing with a dry sediment volume that will stand approx 8' tall over approx. 3.5 acres.

We aren't sure what we plan to do with the sediment after the project. We are exploring options. The bags will stay on property. They are fertile and non-hazardous.

The largest dewatering bag we carry 15 feet x 25 feet. We can do larger but it gets to be too much to handle when you go any larger. We also offer geo tubes that can come in 100'. Flow rates are hard to figure our without testing/samples.

Yes, they can be stacked. I can email you the specs on the bags and tubes. The lead time is about 7 - 10 days.
