Description

Geotube® GT500 Dewatering Bag - Performance for African Conditions

The Geotube® GT500 1m x 1m dewatering bag, supplied under authorization from Solmax by Geosynthetics Africa is built from premium woven monofilament polypropylene. This advanced textile delivers fast, reliable dewatering with outstanding solids retention and resistance to clogging-with suitability assessed against the actual slurry and operating conditions.

Why GT500 Beats Slit Film Bags

Strength: Minimum tensile 72 kN/m (MD) and 95 kN/m (CMD); seam strength 65 kN/m.
Filtration: Characteristic opening size O90 = 250 μm and water permeability of 30 L/s/m² for faster drainage.
Anti-clogging: Monofilament yarns maintain open pore structure to filter ultra-fines without blinding.
Durability: UV resistant and suitable for tough site conditions.

Design & Features

Dimensions: 1m x 1m cube-class bag
Integrated pumping sleeve for easy filling
Protective top cover to minimize contamination and evaporative losses
Ideal for pilot trials, site sampling, and small operational batches

Applications

Mining tailings, dredging silt, municipal wastewater sludge, industrial effluents, and process residues across Southern, West, East, and Central Africa.

Supply, delivery and installation across Africa

Geosynthetics South Africa undertakes projects through three service options:

Supply only - products supplied to the agreed specification.
Supply and delivery - materials and logistics coordinated to your project site.
Supply, delivery and QA/QC-controlled installation - one coordinated scope from procurement to documented handover.

For projects across Africa, we coordinate with the Geosynthetics Africa Group to mobilise installation crews from group companies across the continent. Materials, delivery, mobilisation and project-specific quality records are agreed as part of the project scope.

SELECTION · SPECIFICATION · PROJECT SUPPLY

Choose the right specification

Choose the system around the solids, water conditions, containment duty and available working space.

For dewatering, provide slurry characteristics, flow and required filtrate quality; representative trials may be needed.
For curtains or containment articles, define flow, depth, exposure, geometry and anchorage or filling conditions.
Confirm fabric, dimensions, seams, connections, handling and operating limits for the actual system.

Define the quality records

Retain material and fabrication records, inspect deployment and connections, and agree operating inspections and acceptance criteria.

For a useful quotation: send the grade or performance specification, quantity, location, required date and scope. Availability, delivery and installation responsibilities are confirmed in the quotation.
