GEOTUBE^® dewatering containers are an effective dewatering technology fabricated from a specially engineered geotextile which provides confinement of the fine solids inside the container, while allowing water to permeate through the engineered geotextile. As the water drains, the solids continue to densify and consolidate over time. Once the solids are fully consolidated or have met minimum requirements for transport, several options are available for disposal of the dewatered material.
