Dewatering Solutions

Dewatering Bags, also known as sediment filter bags or silt bags, are an easy and economical option for any site looking to remove sediment or silt from their discharge.

Each Standard Sediment Bag is constructed from a robust geotextile filter fabric to catch and contain sediment as muddy water is pumped from your site. These filtering bags are made from a non-woven geotextile fabric that is needle-punched to allow water to flow back out while retaining fine soils and particles. Its high filtering qualities make it ideal for pumping trenches, construction sites, dredging areas, ponds, lakes and for dewatering inmunicipalities or plants.
Standard Sediment Dewatering Bags are the most common option for removing unwanted materials from discharge or stormwater runoff. Bags are generally smaller in size, making them ideal for dumpsters, drop boxes, or other small dewatering areas.

Their components meet or exceed minimum DOT Erosion and State NPDES Sediment Control requirements as outlined in 40 CFR 122.26. GEI’s Dewatering Tubes help keep runoff clean and keep your site in compliance with local and federal stormwater regulations.

Heavy Duty Dewatering Bags, also known as sediment filter bags or silt bags, are an easy and economical option for any site looking to remove sediment or silt from their discharge. Each Heavy Duty Dewatering Bag is constructed from a thicker non-woven geotextile with higher filtration properties than Standard Dewatering products. They reliably filter even finer particles to catch and contain sediment as muddy water is pumped from your site. These filtering bags are made from a non-woven geotextile fabric that is needle-punched to allow water to flow back out while retaining fine soils and particles.

Dewatering Tubes or Geotubes, are a reliable and cost-effective solution to manage water on your construction site, industrial project, or environmental remediation site for volumes that are measured in cubic feet of sediment. GEI Works’ high-quality dewatering tubes are designed to handle large volumes of water. They are the ultimate tool for effective sediment and water separation, ensuring clean and clear results.

Dewatering Tubes are used extensively in construction and protection of water infrastructure systems. Applications include on-land and off-shore marine applications. These close-ended tubes contain filling ports evenly spaced at intervals along the length to allow for even hydraulic filling of a slurry of sand and water. Their long exteriors and high permittivity allow them to effectively remove waste solids and other pollution from water while leaving sand and solids inside the tube. After drying, the sediment creates a solid horizontal structure of compacted sand and / or dried mud.

Dewatering Tubes are perfect for large dewatering filtration or sludge removal projects. Dewatering tubes have significantly larger dimensions and superior strength woven geotextile fabric or composite materials, as compared to the smaller footprint and non-woven material of dewatering bags. Once on site, Geotextile Dewatering Tubes are hydraulically filled with saturated sediment, sand or bio-organic solids and waste materials. When fully dewatered,
the sediment is reduced in both weight and volume, allowing for more cost-effective material handling.

GEI Works’ manufactured Dewatering Socks helps you control and contain sediment during dewatering, sump pump-outs or other containment products. Dewatering filter socks are one of the easiest ways to filter water runoff as it leaves your site. Designed to attach directly to the end of vertical dewatering pipes or hoses, these filter socks contain sediment, debris, and other pollutants as the water discharges from your site. Pipe socks are DOT compliant.

Their components meet or exceed minimum DOT Erosion and State NPDES Sediment Control requirements as outlined in 40 CFR 122.26. These pipe socks help keep runoff clean and keep your site in compliance with local and federal stormwater regulations.
