Coastal and Shoreline erosion along the east coast of Africa has presented major problems for hotel resorts and residents alike. Eroded foundations, collapsing boundary walls and lost property frontage is a continuous event.

Don’t worry, help is here! We partnered with Naue GmbH to bring specialist Geobags right here in Kenya. These systems have been successfully installed around the world. Filled with beach sand, the geobags weigh up to 4.5T and are produced using the latest closing technology, extremely high seam-strengths, and powerfully robust sand-coloured fabric designed to prevent erosion and scour.

How does it work?

Geobags form a stable, durable sand-filled barrier for use in coastal erosion and other dynamic hydraulic applications. Manufactured from sand-coloured nonwoven geotextile designed for filtration, abrasion resistance, puncture & UV characteristics provides maximum durability in harsh environments. Weighing 4.5 tonnes provides the stability required to withstand the impact of high wave energy & storm surges.

Applications include revetments, artificial reefs, scour prevention, groynes, wave-breakers and protection dykes.

Their flexibility and versatility means they can be used in various conditions. Whether the project requires protection to existing structures (such as boundary walls, swimming pool and building foundations, embankments) or proposed new construction, the design can be tailored to ensure the most suited technical solution is reached.

Benefits of using our geobags:

• Scour & Erosion Protection: provides effective relief of beach sand being eroded and loss of property frontage by the ocean.
• Environment-Friendly: a soft-engineering alternative with a lower environmental footprint to traditional hard structures, such as concrete seawalls.
• Adaptability: highly adaptable containers can be customised to suit different environments and conditions.
• High Performance: Our geobags are engineered with high quality, robust geotextile fabrics ensuring performance and longevity.
• Cost Effectiveness: Geobags offer a more economical solution than conventional hard engineering structures.
• Aesthetics: The sand-coloured geotextile fabric blends in better with the natural surroundings. Less visual impact is highly preferred for tourist and residential areas.
