Stopwave - Sand Containers for Erosion Control
Robust geotextile containers for riverbanks and coastline protection. The Stopwave system consists of sand-filled geotextile containers built to form a stabilising, defensive barrier against coastal and river erosion.
What is Stopwave®?
The geotextile containers are made of Geotess®, a durable staple fibre geotextile.
It`s a versatile system ranging from 500 kg hydraulically filled containers to 5 tons mega sand containers.
These containers are the smallest of the Stopwave® containers. Generally used on temporary structures like, small sea walls and groynes, riverbanks protection and small onshore structures in very mild climates and conditions.
These medium sized containers are used typically in groyne structures in mild conditions, emergency works and temporary structures due to their versatility and rapid construction techniques.
The largest of the mechanically fi lled containers. These containers are used in revetments, reefs and groynes due to their large size and high stability, even under the harshest conditions. Filling and placement of these very large containers is achieved using a specialized hydraulic filling apparatus and placement cradles to ensure complete filling and a consistent, neat finish.
Stopwave®structures restrict the loss or movement of sand through wave action, tidal currents and wave currents.
Stopwave®structures protect the shoreline by resisting the erosive forces from wave action or tidal events.
Stopwave®structures can reduce the size and energy of waves by assisting the wave to break away from the forseshore, thereby providing sheltered waters in the lee of the structure.
Stopwave®structures provide a base upon which organisms grow in the ocean or rivers systems. Such growth is vital to the health and diversity of the natural environment.
