Geotextile tube applications for construction of the longest sea-crossing bridge in Vietnam

Geotextile tubes were indispensable in the bridge building works of the Lach Huyen Port Project. About 27 km of the material was utilised to construct the containment bund of the 620,000 m3 dredged sediment containment facilities.

This manual, a first of its kind, is an ideal reference for all involved in the development of such infrastructure projects.

Practical Claims Avoidance Techniques: How to Prevent Excess Costs and Unnecessary Delay on Dredging Projects

Demands on worldwide ports caused by ever larger ships means ever more dredging. Deeper channels, tighter dredge envelopes and stricter environmental restrictions can result in greater risks.

Flexibility in Port Infrastructures

The use of flexible and sustainable-solutions infrastructures should be promoted – though initially more costly, these may prove economical over the whole life cycle of a port.
