Pipe protection

Landfill A large number of pipes are installed on the seabed. Boat turbines erode the seabed and as a consequence erosion occurs around the pipes. One efficient means of protection is to cover them with a FlexiTex® layer, often a 10-13 cm thickness of concrete.


The installation of that concrete mattress needs to be done in the correct way so that it is not possible for any current to get beneath the mattress. Our engineers can advise on the impact of local conditions such as hydraulic currents, depths and types of seabed on the installations required.

Very often by using mattresses between the pipe and FlexiTex®, the pipe will also be protected against mechanical damage.

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.
