FlowTex and MIRAFI Geotextile Bags

This engineering-led approach delivers predictable field performance, rapid deployment, and dependable results-far beyond conventional sandbag solutions.

Performance Characteristics

• Ultra-High Tensile Strength (60-105 kN/m) for structural stability

• Excellent Hydraulic Performance under wave, current, and flood loading

• Long-Term Durability in marine and fluvial environments

• Large Unit Weights for resistance to uplift, displacement, and scour

• Engineered Geometry for stacking, interlocking, and mass stability

This is engineered containment, not emergency bagging.

Quick Specs - Geotextile Sand Bags

FlowTex™ CP Geobags (Woven - Heavy Duty)

• Capacities: 400kg, 1400kg, 1800kg, 4000kg

• Fabrics: PolyTape High Flow Woven PP

• Strength: 60 - 105 kN tensile

• Best for:

  • Coastal erosion protection (revetments, seawalls)

  • Breakwaters & groynes

  • Riverbank stabilisation

  • Large-scale flood control walls

• Advantages:

  • Superior abrasion resistance

  • High flow permeability (anti-clogging)

  • UV stabilised, chemical & biological resistance

  • Long service life in exposed marine conditions

Applications

These non-woven geosynthetic sandbags are designed for light-duty hydraulic and erosion control applications where filtration, flexibility, and rapid deployment are required.

Manufactured using high-permeability non-woven polypropylene geotextiles, these bags are suitable for temporary flood protection, landscaping works, and low-energy erosion control, particularly where conformability and controlled filtration are more important than structural load capacity.

Applications and uses

We supply and install this product for:

• Engineered coastal and river erosion-protection systems.
• Temporary flood-response and water-management works using the specified container size and fill.

High-Strength Woven Geobags for Coastal, River & Flood Control Applications

For high-energy hydraulic and structural applications, Geosynthetics South Africa supplies large-format, high-strength woven geobags engineered for extreme loading, hydraulic exposure, and long-term durability in coastal and riverine environments.

These geobags are designed using reinforced woven geotextile systems delivering tensile strengths up to 105 kN/m, combined with controlled filtration layers to ensure structural stability, resistance to abrasion, and sustained hydraulic performance under harsh field conditions.

Unlike conventional sandbags, these systems are intended for permanent and semi-permanent works where failure is not an option.

Applications and uses

We supply and install this product for:

• Engineered coastal and river erosion-protection systems.
• Temporary flood-response and water-management works using the specified container size and fill.

Non-Woven Geosynthetic Sandbags (Light-Duty Applications)

• Typical Capacities: 40 kg & 70 kg

• Fabric Type: Non-woven polypropylene geotextile

• Function: Filtration, containment, and ground conformity

Best suited for:

• Temporary flood diversion and emergency barriers

• Landscaping and light slope protection

• Small-scale erosion control works

Key advantages:

• Lightweight and easy to handle

• High permeability for controlled drainage

• Rapid deployment in emergency situations

• Conforms well to uneven ground

For structural, coastal, or high-energy hydraulic applications, high-strength woven geosynthetic sandbags are recommended.
