Dewatering tubes

Enka-D-Tube

Enka-D-Tube dewartering tubes are fabricated from high strength geotextiles forming tubular structures with filling inlets which enable pumping of sand slurry. The highly permeable fabric allows rapid dissipation of water during filling whilst the small pore size retains fines. They are available in a variety of sizes, depending on volume and space requirements. Volume reduction can be as much as 85%, this makes removal and disposal very easy and much more economic.

Function
