FIBERROCK ® - FOR THE LOVE OF OUR LAND

Fibertex FiberRock ® Geosynthetic Sand Containers (GSCs) are the first choice when looking for soft and adaptable erosion and scour protection systems. Major infrastructure damage is becoming more common as a result of the unpredictable physical environment along all coastal areas and the rising frequency of urban development into this environment. FiberRock ® GSCs are geotextile sand-filled bags, that are manufactured for coastal structures, dune security and scour protection. GSCs provide an alternative to conventional rock materials such as riprap, gravel filters and other hard armour and aggregate solutions.

Advantages of our FiberRock ® Geosynthetic Sand Containers: • Erosion control, filtration and drainage in one product • FiberRock ® 250V includes UV resistance and an anti-vandalism protection layer • Improves installation safety due to robust nonwovens • Conforms to uneven terrain without compromising strength • Environmentally smart: reduces carbon footprint, creates habitat zones, minimises site disturbance • Transforms erosion-prone soils into erosion-resistant systems • Long-term durability and performance

Applications: • Sea walls • Beach and dune revetments • Submerged breakwaters and jetties • Scour protection for waterfront structures, walls, bridge piles and offshore wind turbines • Offshore cable protection • Erosion control in flowing waters • Filling of washed out material in dams • Soil stabilisation in dams • Off-shore, waterfront, waterway structures and foundation applications
