High-Performance Geosynthetics for Civil & Structural Applications

Civil and structural applications require geosynthetics that deliver long-term performance under sustained loading. FTG’s product range — TITANTube® geotextile dewatering and containment systems, TITAN ASA™ anti-scour aprons, TITAN ELB™ emergency lift bags, TITAN Boom™ turbidity barriers, and Flintex™ high-strength woven geotextile — covers the full scope of civil geosynthetic requirements, from shoreline protection to soft soil reinforcement.

Why Civil Projects Specify FTG

Civil & Structural Applications

Shoreline Revetment & Coastal Erosion Control

Geotextile tube revetment systems provide long-term shoreline stabilization for communities, roads, and infrastructure threatened by wave action and erosion. FTG’s TITANTube® systems have been deployed in coastal revetment applications across Mexico, the USA, and internationally — providing structural toe protection and armor stone support that traditional hard armoring alone cannot deliver at the same cost-to-performance ratio.

Levee & Embankment Reinforcement

Flintex™ high-strength woven geotextile (HSWG) provides the bi-directional tensile strength required for levee reinforcement, embankment construction over soft foundations, and structural earth retention. FTG’s civil design team has delivered geotextile reinforcement solutions for flood control levees and embankment projects where conventional approaches were not cost-effective or technically viable.

Road Construction Over Soft & Weak Subgrades

Geotextile separation and reinforcement over soft, saturated, or organically weak subgrades reduces base course thickness requirements, improves load distribution, and extends road service life. Flintex™ geotextile provides the filtration, separation, and tensile reinforcement required for access roads, haul roads, and permanent road construction in challenging ground conditions.

Dike, Dam & Containment Structure Construction

TITANTube® geotextile tubes provide a cost-effective structural core for dikes, containment berms, and cofferdams. Sand-filled tubes are hydraulically placed, requiring minimal equipment and achieving stable structural geometry without the large volumes of armor stone traditional dike construction demands. Applications include perimeter containment, interior cell division, and interim flood protection.

Turbidity & Sediment Control During Construction

TITAN Boom™ turbidity barriers protect aquatic environments and waterways adjacent to civil construction activities. Deployed as floating silt curtains, TITAN Boom™ systems contain suspended sediment within the construction footprint and prevent migration into surrounding waterways — meeting permit requirements and protecting sensitive aquatic habitats during active construction.

In the Field

Need a Conceptual Design for Your Civil Project?

FTG has generated hundreds of conceptual designs for civil and structural geosynthetic projects worldwide — shoreline revetments, levee and embankment reinforcement, road construction over soft soils, dike and dam systems, and more. FTG’s technical team delivers the site-specific system analysis your project needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. TITANTube® geotextile tubes used in civil revetment and dike applications are fabricated from high-strength woven polypropylene with UV stabilization providing an estimated 30-year service life when protected by armor stone or cover material. The La Trocha revetment in Veracruz, Mexico is a documented example of permanent civil infrastructure using geotextile tubes as the primary structural element.

FTG uses Flintex™ high-strength woven geotextile (HSWG) for civil reinforcement applications. Flintex™ provides bi-directional tensile strength, filtration, and drainage performance required for levee reinforcement, embankment construction over soft foundations, and structural earth retention. It is the same product used in FTG’s sludge cap reinforcement projects.

FTG has executed civil geosynthetic projects across six continents. For international projects, FTG provides site-specific conceptual designs, remote technical support, and — for projects in Africa — in-country technical staff based in South Africa. Regional inventory maintained in South Africa allows rapid mobilization for civil and infrastructure projects across the continent.
