Geosynthetic Containers

The design and construction of coastal protection structures using geosynthetic containers is a specialized field, one of which Ecocoast is at the forefront of.

Only few companies around the world specialize in this field, and we are proud to be one of them. Ecocoast was responsible for the first sand-filled megacontainer installation in the United Arab Emirates in 2007.

We have over 10 years experience, and have been custom-engineering, manufacturing and installing these geotextile solutions as an alternative, sustainable method for coastal protection or temporary marine structures in various countries across the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Where our Ecobags and Ecotubes are selected as the most effective method, they are designed and custom-made for every single project.

We can boldly say that we are recognized as a trusted partner to offer the best custom engineered solution. We guarantee the best lead time in the MENA region, as the Ecobags and Ecotubes are engineered and manufactured in the United Arab Emirates.

Ecocoast built a software for stability calculations - Geoforce - to assist contractors, engineers and consultants in the tendering process. It allows you to create graphs from your own data, offering different scenarios that assess waves, container size and stability, in order to provide a ballpark estimate for the project to customers.

Geosynthetic containers (GSCs) are three-dimensional systems, manufactured from geotextile materials filled with sand. They are not 'sand bags' or 'bulker bags', but require an engineered approach. GSCs are regarded as innovative, economic and environmentally-friendly systems. They have the added benefit of enhancing marine habitats.

With varying sizes, the containers range from 100 kilograms to over 600 tonnes. The weight provides stability and projects have been designed and constructed in high wave energy coastal areas with waves over 12 meters.
