Geocontainer systems are in principle large sandba
These will be placed in a split barge and
filled with sand . The Geocontainer will then be
closed and the barge opened. The container will
than be dumped on the bottom.
Capacity varies from 120 m3 till 600 m3
Geocontainer are especially made for
a given split barge.

Geotextile containers
Geotextile containers installed
by split-bottom barges Two types of applications:
Structural, submarine, mass-gravityunits
Contained, submarine disposal ofcontaminated sediments
For hydraulic applicationscontainer volumes are in range100 to 600 m3
Smaller volumes give better installedtolerances and are more easily
installed but are more costly
