Hydraulic structures such as riverbanks, offshore breakwaters, riverbanks, etc. present a critical challenge of erosion due to the abrasive nature of the water. It has a negative impact on the adjoining structures and habitations. While conventional and traditional methods are available to negate the impact of erosion, they’ve proved ineffective. Hence, finding a new solution became imperative. While a range of options existed, their alignment to long-term goals of environment protection, cost-effectiveness, strength, resilience, etc. were important.
In that regard, geo bags have emerged as a modern and cost-effective solution to efficiently protect the shores. What makes geo bags an excellent option for erosion control is their longevity, affordability, durability. Additionally, the fact that they are environment friendly make them an ideal option. Since they are made using polyester, polypropylene, or polyethylene; and allow for long-term usage without any impact on the environment gives them an essential role in protecting the environment and reduce the threat of global warming and climate change that is looming on us today.
Geo bags have multiple uses that go beyond shore protection. Some of its common applications in addition to prevention of soil erosion are:
- Cost Effective Alternate for Curbing Floods: geo bags can be used to build sandbag walls to divert the flood water or curb its flow. These sand-filled geo bag walls are cost effective, convenient to construct, without breaking any existing buildings or structures.
- Construction of Ports, Dams, and Harbours: Geo bags are useful in constructing ports, dams, harbours as they provide a strong, durable, sustainable, and sturdy resistance from strong flow of water.
- Scour Protection of Groynes and Breakwaters: Groynes and breakwaters are built into the seas to protect the coastal areas from the force of waves. These structures get scoured over time, making them weak and rendering the coastal areas vulnerable. Geo bags can be of great use in protecting these structures and preventing any potential threats to the coastal regions.
