Market Overview
Industrial Fabrics Inc. provides engineered geosynthetic solutions for Coastal / Marine Waterways, backed by on-staff engineers and full technical support from design to installation.
Coastal erosion threatens valuable land and infrastructure. Industrial Fabrics systems, including specialized geocells and marine mattresses, provide resilient armoring against wave action. Our Marine Geocomposites provide scour protection and reinforcement for hard armor revetment and stone breakwater structures. These solutions absorb and dissipate wave energy, significantly reducing sediment loss and shoreline retreat.
Weak silt-laden marine spoils require specialized stabilization attention. Industrial Fabrics is the only geosynthetics manufacturer with the capabilities of designing with our own in-house manufactured Foundation Performance System (FPS). Our customized geogrid composites system combined with Industrial Fabrics geocell create a stiffened platform over silty and saturated sub-grade conditions, oftentimes encountered in coastal port facilities. This allows for the secure placement of breakwaters, groins, and pier foundations without excessive settlement.
Coastal port facilities take a pounding from heavy fork lift and container reach stackers. These massive loads from shipping containers and heavy machinery require well thought out engineering and designs. Our engineering professionals utilize quality Industrial Fabrics geogrids, Fabgrid, and geocell, to overcome these extreme wheel loads. The utilization of Industrial Fabrics prevents rutting in container yards and ensures that the loads and traffic frequency requirements of your facility are met.
Managing dredged materials effectively is a major challenge in marine projects. Industrial Fabrics provides high-strength geosynthetic reinforcement to protect breakwater structures and geosynthetic dewatering tubes. These systems allow for efficient dewatering and safe containment of sediments, often repurposing them for land reclamation.
