Reservoir construction

Reservoirs are built for water storage purposes. In the case of heavy rains or floods, they are used to act as an attenuating or balancing system which retains the excess of water to keep infrastructure and people safe. They can also be used to irrigate fields for agriculture.


They can be built by excavating the soil. In this case, Tele Textiles offers FlexiTex® as a second skin on the embankments. Concrete is contained within the geotextile and there is no need for concrete shuttering to build it.

FlexiTex® is a textile shuttering for use at the water-side and underwater concrete work.


There has been a significant increase in the use of textile shuttering in concrete work, particularly at the water-side and underwater projects. The most important reason for this increased interest has been the introduction of woven fabrics made of high-strength multifilament synthetic fibre.

Coupled with simplified installation working procedures, this results in reduced working times and attractive cost saving.
