Geotextile Pipeline Bag Weight

Quality

Geotextile Pipeline Bags Weight are manufactured from the heaviest grade fabrics. The (300 to 400 GSM) “geotextile grade” fabric is made for buried application – signified by the white& black colour of our fabric.

Environment and Pipeline Friendly

Geotextile pipeline weights are a soft buoyancy control, allowing the pipeline the ability to move slightly while still maintaining negative buoyancy and coating protection. Geotextile bags are as permeable as the ballast used to fill them, allowing groundwater and cathodic protection an easy path.

Concrete coatings can leach chemicals into the ground water. Our non-biodegradable polypropylene fabric is filled with local gravel, making them as environmentally friendly as the natural stone used to fill them.

Economical

Low product price, reduced handling costs, and use of local gravel as ballast combine to make bags the most economical pipeline weighting system. our "effective weight" under water often exceeds that of equivalent concrete weights due to less water being displaced, allowing for fewer weights. Our bags are also cheaper to install, requiring no extra trench depth, less trench dewatering, and conforming to most trench bottoms. Bags are non-biodegradable and can easily be removed if ever required.

Our geotextile bags can be fabricated and shipped directly to a site, often within days.

Safe and Durable

Geotextile Pipeline Bag Weight are made from ASTM tested, geotextile rated fabrics — with a 4X overall factor of safety. We apply a multi-compartment design that is safer and longer-lasting than the one or two compartment design used by other fabric weights.

Easy to Install

Installation is safe and simple. Fill the bag weights with gravel from a local source, distribute along the right of way, lower over the pipeline, and back-fill. Bags can be installed with a single lift hook, which can be released without workers in the trench. The system of hooks and loops used by other fabric weights can be difficult to release.

Stable Design

With their stable, low design, our bags can be installed on to a floating pipeline without risk of tipping — requiring no trench dewatering. The other single and two compartment fabric weight designs can be difficult, if not impossible, to place on a floating pipeline.
