Coastal erosion is one of the most persistent infrastructure challenges facing communities, port authorities, and private landowners worldwide. Flint produces a range of geosynthetic products designed specifically for coastal erosion protection — and choosing the right one starts with understanding your site and what you’re trying to protect.
For Breakwaters, Perimeter Dikes, and Large-Scale Structures: TITANTube®
TITANTube® geotextile tubes range from dumpster size to 120′ circumference or larger and are used to build coastal protection structures including breakwaters, perimeter dikes for hurricane protection islands, and habitat islands. Because they can be filled with locally available material — including dredged material from the project site — they offer significant logistical advantages on large coastal construction projects. TITANTubes have been used by the US Army Corps of Engineers, US Navy, Province of Manitoba (Canada), and the state of Colima (Mexico).
For Shoreline and Structure Protection: TITANBag®
TITANBag® sandbags are designed for coastal erosion protection where appearance matters alongside performance. They are large, coastal sand-colored, and highly UV resistant — designed to blend with the natural beach environment. Self-sealing ports allow swift, precise installation.
For Scour Protection at the Toe of Structures: TITAN ASA™
Any coastal geotextile tube installation is only as good as the scour protection at its base. Flint produces TITAN ASA™ anti-scour aprons to custom widths and lengths, with integral anchor tubes addressing the specific scour conditions of each project.
