FIBERROCK - FOR THE LOVE OF OUR LAND
®

®
Fibertex FiberRock Geosynthetic Sand Containers (GSCs) are the fi rst choice when looking for soft and adaptable
erosion and scour protection systems. Major infrastructure damage is becoming more common as a result of the
unpredictable physical environment along all coastal areas and the rising frequency of urban development into this
®
environment. FiberRock GSCs are geotextile sand-fi lled bags, that are manufactured for coastal structures, dune security
and scour protection. GSCs provide an alternative to conventional rock materials such as riprap, gravel fi lters and other
hard armour and aggregate solutions.
