Heather Heydet2019-11-14 10:11:472022-02-04 07:23:42Erosion Control for Industrial and Containment SitesHYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete is the top solution for lining trapezoidal channels in any facility or industry.
Looking for the best channel lining product? HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete requires less manpower than gabions, HDPE liners, brick, PVC, soil cement, and limestone riprap. Both versatile and permanent, HYDROTEX can also be used for erosion control in canals, ditches, and open drains. Call us today at 1-800-225-0023 to receive a free quote for your channel lining project.
How is HYDROTEX used in concrete channel lining projects?
The Problem
An unlined channel or river is subject to bank erosion, causing the channel to encroach upon the adjacent roadway, infrastructure, or valuable property. This can result in potential collapse, costing millions in repair costs.
An unlined storm water management or irrigation channel will also allow vegetation growth, increasing waterlogging, reducing waterflow, and resulting in inefficiency of the components.
The Solution: HYDROTEX Fabric Forms for the In-Situ Casting of Concrete
Cast a concrete liner with HYDROTEX fabric forms for the in-situ casting of concrete, creating a permanent mattress that protects against bank erosion and provides protection of valuable adjacent structures or property.
With a HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete mattress, you can manage the efficiency of water flow. You have a myriad of choices when you purchase HYDROTEX: you can line the channel with a product that can accommodate hydrostatic pressure relief, accommodate revegetation, or prevent vegetation (Uniform Section).
Best HYDROTEX Fabric Forms for Lining Channels with Concrete
HYDROTEX® Filter Point
HYDROTEX Filter Point is one of the most popular products to cast concrete linings in channels. When pumped with fine aggregate concrete, this fabric form creates a mattress with filter points that allow the water to filter through, relieving hydrostatic pressure. Easy to install underwater and a cheaper-to-transport alternative to precast concrete block mats.
HYDROTEX® Filter Band® Concrete Mattress
An alternative to Filter Point, HYDROTEX Filter Band also relieves hydrostatic pressure while achieving a greater reduction of flow velocity and wave run-up due to a higher Manning’s n value. Great choice for channels where a greater control of flow is required.
HYDROTEX® Uniform Section
Looking for a concrete slope paving alternative for your channel lining project? HYDROTEX Uniform Section fabric forms are the product for you. When pumped with fine aggregate concrete, our Uniform Section fabric forms create a rigid mattress with minimal permeability.
HYDROTEX® Enviromat®
For an aesthetic channel lining solution that will allow vegetation, prevent erosion, and help the environment, choose our Enviromat concrete linings. The fabric formwork’s revolutionary open design allows vegetation to grow in between the concrete blocks.
All HYDROTEX Products
Though these are the most oft-used fabric formworks for casting a concrete lining at channels, you can choose any other HYDROTEX product—or you can let us recommend one based on the project specifications.

Forget Traditional Concrete Lining
Concrete channel lining is the most popular erosion control method for rivers and channels.
HYDROTEX is superior to traditional concrete channel lining alternatives. Not only is HYDROTEX designed to be installed both on land and underwater, the material is cheaper to transport and the installation often requires less manpower than other labor-intensive alternatives.

Roadside drainage, stormwater, irrigation, and surface water channels can be protected by a HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete mattress.
We would recommend Enviromat, Enviromat FX, Filter Point, Filter Band, and Uniform Section for these applications, but will work with you to manufacture the best concrete mattress for your project.
Why choose us?
We are the only manufacturer of HYDROTEX permanent erosion control systems.
You’re partnering with the manufacturer, not a third-party seller or a middleman.
With Synthetex at your side, you won’t have to guess during any stage. You’ll have our support from the very beginning up until the last fabric-formed concrete mattress is pumped in place. From on-site support to design assistance, you will have invaluable resources at your disposal with us at your side.
Who is Synthetex?
We are the manufacturer of HYDROTEX® geosynthetic fabric formwork used for the in-situ casting of concrete.
We are not an engineering firm, subcontractor, concrete supplier, or fabriform installer. We are a manufacturer.
As your manufacturer, we work with each of those entities to deliver cost-effective solutions at every stage of your project. Our team will also assist with cost analyses, train installation teams, provide technical assistance, and assist with design and hydraulics.
We’re not just a one-time supplier—we’re your strategic partner for your current project and beyond.
