Description
This large Soft Rock container is a geotextile bag made of Secutex, a non-woven, needle-punched polypropylene material, and is designed to be filled with 2 tonnes of locally available sand providing dune security and scour protection to the coastline and other waterways. This soft, flexible bag is an alternative to conventional rock material, it can be installed with lighter equipment than rock alternatives. The flexible material fits better into the natural coastal and marine environment offering greater erosion control. The non-woven needle-punch construction of the material offers better frictional behaviour than woven alternatives, meaning there is less sliding between stacked containers when subjected to waves and currents.
