Swamp Restration Using the Geo-Tube Method

Publication: Dredging '02: Key Technologies for Global Prosperity

Abstract

Considering the applicability of geo-tube method for the swamp restoration, three aspects, 1) filtration effect, 2) durability and 3) vegetation of the geo-tube, were investigated through experiments. The geo-tube method appeared to have an effective function of filtration, holding fine soil particles within a geo-tube. The strength of geotextile significantly decreased when exposed outside, becoming 10 to 20% of the initial value after 16 months. Even when the geo-tube was covered by plants, the strength decreased by about 30% in 16 months. Plants could grow through geotextiles, but roots and stems made holes in geotextile.
