Easy to operate
Dewatering tubes, also known as geobags, act like a filter container, trapping solids inside while allowing water to escape. Pump wastewater sludge in and the tube inflates, while water filters out through the geotextile for collection or disposal. Small projects use our hanging bags with forklift handles for mobility. Larger projects use tubes that lie flat along the ground, or a HDPE liner. Ideal for remote sites, the tubes are a cost-effective solution if a tailings dam is full and requires dredging or dewatering.
Effective dewatering
Geobag dewatering typically reduces moisture content of solids by 50-70%, minimising the volume of tailings and associated costs. We offer two geotextiles with different aperture sizes: one for inorganic sludge like coal, gold or iron ore, the other for flocculated or organic sludge.
Expertly made
Our woven geotextile material is durable and resistant to chemicals, ensuring reliable performance in remote mining sites and alongside operational facilities. With a wide range of sizes available, operators can easily adjust dewatering capacity as needed.
What size geobag do you need?
​
For small operations and testing, our 1 and 2 tonne hanging bags are ideal. You can get these directly from our online store.
