TITANBag® — In the Field
Frequently Asked Questions — TITANBag®
TITANTube® units are large geotextile cylinders filled with slurry via hydraulic pump — used for dewatering and as the structural core of larger coastal protection structures. TITANBag® units are discrete bags filled in place with sand slurry from a smaller pump — used for revetments, armor layers, dune toe protection, and smaller structural elements. Many FTG coastal geotextile projects use both in combination.
TITANBag® is more cost-effective than poured concrete armor and has a lower environmental footprint than quarried rip-rap — especially when filled with beneficially dredged material. TITANBag® is more permeable than concrete, reducing reflected wave energy. Sand-colored UV-stable geotextile fabric is preferred over gray concrete at public beaches and coastal parks.
