Within the geotextile tube industry, producing a strong and secure textile injection port system has always proved challenging. Both the sewn attachment and the final closing method of these ports have never been as durable as the textile tube itself. TenCate Geosynthetics Americas has developed a rigid, mechanical injection port system (known as Geoport) which virtually eliminates unwanted stress at this location.
“Our patented Geoport filling system provides multiple advantages over traditional textile injection ports including higher pumping heights which increase fill capacity, improved operating factors of safety, and a more secure filling connection,” states Christopher Timpson – Product Development, Water & Environment.
This valuable achievement is one more component that further distances TenCate ahead of the competition.
TenCate Geotube® GP filling system was issued US Patent Number 8088117 and in multiple other countries around the globe.
