Scour Protection for Ports and Harbors

HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete is the most effective countermeasure against prop and thruster scour, pier scour, and embankment erosion at ports and harbors.

Permanent erosion control and scour protection at ports doesn’t have to be complicated.

HYDROTEX has been used in more than a hundred ports around the world. It’s the leading product for scour protection and erosion control both on land and underwater. One hundred percent customizable, HYDROTEX fabric forms will create a concrete armoring system that will last for decades.

Don’t use a temporary product that won’t provide the protection your port needs. Chat with one of our engineers to get a quote for your project.

Why is HYDROTEX the top choice for your port and harbor erosion control project?

HYDROTEX is cheaper to transport and easy to install, making it the better choice for hard-to-reach areas at ports and harbors regardless of whether they’re underwater or on land.

It is also entirely customizable, which means that if you need a unique solution or need to protect a specific area, you can rest easy. The HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete panels will be manufactured to your project’s unique specifications.

Whereas rip-rap and prefabricated concrete blocks are purchased in bulk and then designed around the specifications of your facility, HYDROTEX is a specialized product that is entirely custom-made from the start.

The geosynthetic fabric will be woven and cut to contour specific piers, embankments, and underwater pipelines, then delivered to your project site ready-to-fill. During installation, you won’t be left alone. Our engineers will help you find an experienced contractor and will be available for on-site technical assistance at your port.

HYDROTEX can be installed at the following port facilities:

Container and general cargo terminals
Dry bulk terminals
Liquid bulk terminals
Intermodal facilities
Passenger, cruise and ferry terminals
Shipbuilding and repair facilities
Coastal structures
