Environmental Remediation

Effective Containment for Large and Small-Scale Projects
Rivers, bays, harbours, marinas, ports, and dock facilities have been collecting contaminated sediments from industrial runoff for many years. In many cases, these sediments pose significant environmental hazards, and remediation is a difficult and expensive task.Marine sediments can be contained and dewatered easily with the Geotube® dewatering technology. This can be accomplished at or very near the site by utilising a dewatering basin where Geotube® containers can be stacked several layers high to minimise the space needed.Geotube® units can be sized forlarge-scale or smaller applications,and effectively contain evenhazardous materials, reducing theirvolume dramatically and saving thousands in disposal costs.

Pulp and Paper

Multiple Uses
Geotube® dewatering technology is used for a variety of applications within pulp and paper mills, including:

• Primary and secondary lagoon cleanout
• Fly ash and alum sludge
• Contaminated sediments
• Continuous systems clarifier,sentrate, process waste stream
• Process rejects
• Separation dykes
• Emergency uses, such ascleanouts, spills, dumps, or exceeding discharge limits

The rapidity with which aGeotube® dewatering operationcan be set up, as well as the lowinvestment involved have alsobeen advantages in paper millapplications, particularly in emergency situations where mills ran the risk of having to shut down.
