Geotubes serve several important functions making them versatile and widely used in various applications as follows:

• Containment- These tubes are an effective means of containing contaminated material, dredged material or industrial waste, preventing release into the surrounding environment.
• Dewatering – GeoTube are used in the separation of solids and liquids by draining water through the Geotextile fabric. This is observed in sediment and sludge removal projects.
• Erosion Control – When strategically positioned along slopes, shorelines and riverbanks, they help prevent erosion and retain sediment only allowing water passage.
• Hydraulic Works – GeoTubes are effective in managing water flow, reducing erosion, and maintaining stability in water-related infrastructure projects.
• Land Reclamation – These tubes can be used to expand/create new land areas by providing a containment system allowing for controlled deposition of earth.
• Shoreline Protection – They function as barriers against wave action, absorbing and dissipating wave energy, reducing impact on the shoreline thus protecting them from erosion and land loss.
• Temporary Structures – GeoTubes can form temporary structures such as berms, cofferdams and retaining walls providing stability and support during construction.

There are several advantages that GeoTube offer making them ideal across a wide application range as highlighted below:

• GeoTube can be customized to suit specific project requirements and site conditions in terms of design, size, and material fill.
• The fabric of these tubes allows water passage useful in the separation of solids from liquids like sludge and sediment.
• Geotube do not damage streambanks.
• They help protect the environment by confining contaminants and other potentially hazardous substances, preventing their release.
• Using GeoTube reduces the need for extensive excavation, transportation, and material disposal resulting in significant cost savings.
• It can be recycled and reused.
