Geotubing

Kumari Sonali

Geotubing:

A joint study by NIOT and KSCADC confirmed that geotubing offshore breakwaters at Poonthura (Kerala) effectively controlled coastal erosion and promoted sustainable beach formation.Geotubing uses large, tubular geotextile containers (geotubes) filled with sand or slurry, placed underwater to reduce wave energy and prevent erosion. In Poonthura, three vertical layers of 15-meter circumference geotubes were installed perpendicular to the coast, forming submerged breakwaters that trap and deposit sand.
