Dewatering filter bags, also known as the silt bags or sediment filter bags, are smaller dewatering options made from nonwoven materials. A geotextile bag is available in sizes ranging from 6' x 6' to 15' x 25.' By contrast, dewatering tubes are built in sizes up to 250' in length and are made from a heavier woven geotextile fabric.Environmental Solutions Geotextile manufacturers website:http://www.sinogeotextile.com/environmental-nonwoven-geotextiles/ |
