Spoil containment dyke structures

Alternative spoil containment dyke structures have been used where hydrauhc conditions permit and where cost savings are important. For example. Fig. 20.28(b) shows the use of geotextile tubes as a dredged spoil containment dyke. The advantage of this solution is that the dredged spoil itself may be used as the fill inside the geotextile mbes, which increases the effective spoil capacity of the containment facility. This...
