Notes:  

  • Flow/dewatering rates will vary dramatically according to soil type.
  • Sand will typically flow/dewater at the fastest rate with clay flowing the slowest.
  • Clay can also blind over the fabric in some instances blocking flow entirely.
  • Clean fabric will flow @ 90 gpm per sq ft
  • Dewatering Bags are normally allowed to dry in place then cut open and
    spread/removed with heavy equipment.
