Ecocoast was the first manufacturer of the full range of silt curtains in the EMEA region. The Ecobarrier Silt Curtain range is always customized to suit specific conditions and project requirements.
This range of debris booms is the perfect choice for projects of any size. With their durable design and reliable performance, you can trust these booms to protect your project's investments.
If you are looking to ensure full marine protection during an oil spill - trust in our oil boom range to get it done.
Introducing Ecobarrier Foam Containment Booms – your ultimate solution for blocking and capturing large volumes of surface foam during construction.
With these coastal protection containers, you can be sure that environmental concerns are at the forefront of our minds, meeting modern standards for sustainability. The range is designed with both flexibility and durability in mind.
A sustainable mooring solution that supports life below water.
We have developed a simple, effective dewatering solution that has proven its effectiveness in various industries. The dewatering containers are incredibly durable and require minimal maintenance thanks to their superior design features.
These data buoys are designed to collect and transmit real-time environmental, oceanographic and meteorological data for environmental protection, regulatory compliance, public health, research and operations.
Coastal protection containers, also known as geosynthetic containers (GSCs), geotextile containers or geobags, prevent erosion by forming a porous barrier along the shoreline. As incoming waves pass through the sand-filled geotextile containers, they lose energy, while water percolates out and fine sediments are trapped behind the structure. This process helps rebuild and stabilize the shoreline over time. The sand core inside each container provides additional mass and stability, keeping the containers anchored even under strong currents.
These coastal protection containers provide a range of additional benefits, such as buffering against storm surges, protecting infrastructure, enhancing marine habitats, contributing to climate change mitigation, preventing floods, and stabilizing slopes.
Yes. Coastal protection containers are fabricated from UV-stabilized polypropylene in woven, non-woven or composite fabrics with high seam strength. These materials provide excellent resistance to ultraviolet degradation, abrasion by debris, and repeated wave impacts, ensuring durability even in harsh weather and wave conditions.
Absolutely. Coastal protection containers are highly effective in both saltwater and freshwater environments. In marine settings, they are used to construct breakwaters, groynes and revetments, providing protection against tidal and wave erosion. In riverine applications, these containers stabilize banks, control scouring around bridge piers, and reinforce levees and channels to manage floodwaters – all while allowing free water passage and promoting sediment deposition. This versatility makes them an ideal solution for erosion control and flood management in a wide range of coastal and inland waterway projects.
Ecobag coastal protection containers are engineered from specially designed, inert geotextile materials that meet strict environmental and durability requirements, ensuring no harmful leachates are released into sensitive marine habitats.
Compared to traditional hard structures like rock or concrete, Ecobag containers have a smaller environmental footprint and are highly effective in reducing carbon emissions. Their permeable design promotes natural sediment accretion and provides a substrate for marine life, supporting the colonization of seagrasses, oysters and other invertebrates. This enhances biodiversity, stabilizes the seabed, and contributes to the regeneration of coastal and marine environments, aligning with both regulatory standards and sustainability goals.
Ecobag coastal protection containers are designed for rapid and efficient installation. The actual installation time depends on factors like site conditions, container size and available equipment, but these systems are known for their quick deployment compared to traditional hard structures.
These containers are highly versatile and can be used for both temporary and permanent coastal protection. They are ideal for emergency erosion control, temporary marine structures, and staged or flexible designs. When covered and properly installed, Ecobag containers can also serve as long-term or permanent solutions for shoreline stabilization, breakwaters, revetments and other coastal defense applications. Their modular nature allows them to be removed, modified or integrated into more permanent infrastructure as needed.
Ecocoast offers a comprehensive range of coastal protection containers to suit various shoreline and marine applications. The main types available are:
● Ecobag Coastal Protection Containers: Pillow-shaped containers designed for erosion control and temporary marine structures. They are suitable for both temporary and permanent use and are an environmentally friendly alternative to hard structures like rock or concrete.
● Ecobag Coastal Protection Tubes: Tube-shaped containers used extensively for erosion control and the construction of shoreline structures such as breakwaters, revetments, groynes, submerged structures and artificial reefs. These tubes are suitable for both temporary and permanent installations.
● Ecobag Coastal Protection Mattresses: Mattress-shaped containers used to mitigate floods and protect riverbanks and impound slopes from erosion. They are robust, durable, and intended for permanent applications, especially along canals and riverbanks.
● Ecobag Coastal Protection Boxes: Box-shaped containers designed for short-term coastal protection or creating temporary bunds. They are versatile, allow for rapid deployment, and are ideal for applications like shoreline protection, island reclamation, and temporary bund construction.
Yes, coastal protection containers do require regular inspection and maintenance to ensure their long-term effectiveness and durability. Maintenance activities typically include checking for displacement, damage from waves or debris, and any degradation due to UV exposure or vandalism. Ongoing monitoring and a customized maintenance plan help maximize the lifespan and protective function of the containers, especially in high-energy or harsh coastal environments. Without adequate maintenance, these structures may become less effective or suffer damage over time. Routine maintenance is recommended as part of best practices for all coastal protection projects.
