Installation begins with excavation and formation of temporary coffer dam.


ProTecTubes™ are laid out and joined with junction mattresses.


Tubes are pumped with water to obtain proper shape and height.

Sand slurry mixture is pumped into tubes displacing the water.

Tubes are walked during sand filling to maintain proper shape and height.

Completed tubes are covered with 3-5 feet of sand.
