Sandex – Coastal Protection Geocomposite

Sandex 5000 GSL provides a heavy-duty displacement resistant composite mat for protection, filtration and separation.

Designed to provide a displacement-resistant filter, the Sandex composite comprises four-layers with encapsulated quartz sand that allows the sinking / installation of a geotextile filter in even the most challenging conditions.

Applications

  • Sandex is recommended for application whenever the local hydraulic conditions make the installation of a standard filter impossible without incurring exceptional cost / effort
  • Embankments
  • Canals, waterways and reservoirs
  • Marine and coastal structures including dams, dykes, seawalls etc.
  • Other hydraulic engineering applications

Benefits

  • The quartz sand component makes Sandex easy to install / sink into position onto the sea or river bed without additional ballasting / specialist equipment
  • Sandex provides high filtration performance, separation properties and construction stability
  • Separation layer for granular soils with different grain sizes to protect against erosion
  • Filter-stable construction allows water to pass through, but prevents fine soil migration
  • Simplified installation process
  • Conforms to soil deformations and settlements
  • Improved sustainability compared to alternative aggregate based revetment designs
  • 5m wide x 40m length

Designed to be placed over sediment, earthen or synthetic surfaces underwater, the Sandex geotextile composite provides protection from damage by erosion, scouring, wave action, heavy equipment or other forces.

Sandex is recommended for application whenever the local hydraulic conditions make the installation of a standard filter impossible without incurring exceptional cost / effort. This ensures an efficient filtration performance for revetments, even when working underwater.
