In large-scale mining or coastal projects, many tubes may be deployed in remote areas with limited instrumentation. Operators often rely on visual cues (bag shape, colour, freeboard) or pump‐line pressure feel to judge fill stages. However, these approaches have significant limitations. Tailings slurries can vary greatly in solids content,...]]></description><link>https://www.kontainsolutions.com/post/why-geobag-overfilling-still-happens-and-why-the-industry-needs-pressure-relief-standards</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fa9aa96d919e5ce8718bd0</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2026 01:35:14 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/152f82_eef800630def4f58a1ac65c5b5bd8550~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_889,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ben Lewis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Some Biosolids Geobag Dewatering Projects Succeed — and Others Quietly Fail]]></title><description><![CDATA[**Link to Kontain LinkedIn Article** A recent project in City of Castlegar (link to article) highlighted something the industry sees repeatedly: expectations were clear, the guidelines were followed, yet the outcome did not meet performance targets. The plan was to achieve a final dried solids consistency, follow accepted dosing protocols, apply standard geobag practices, and deliver a stable end product within program timeframes. On paper, that sounds reasonable. In practice, biosolids...]]></description><link>https://www.kontainsolutions.com/post/why-some-biosolids-geobag-dewatering-projects-succeed-and-others-quietly-fail</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fa99a9438dc58e2c8d500b</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2026 01:32:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/152f82_337242ad0dd7490cb076d2b91c52b941~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_627,h_352,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ben Lewis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Offshore Dredge Disposal Under Pressure?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Why Onshore Containment Is Gaining Attention **Link to LinkedIn Article** For decades, offshore disposal of dredged material has been the default approach. Dredge it. Pump it offshore. Move on. Simple. Cheap. Accepted. But that model is breaking down — and not slowly. The shift isn’t theoretical anymore Across Australia and globally, offshore deposition is becoming harder to justify, harder to approve, and in some cases, simply not acceptable. Not because the industry suddenly changed — but...]]></description><link>https://www.kontainsolutions.com/post/offshore-dredge-disposal-under-pressure</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fa98477360a0324ac50ef8</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2026 01:27:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/152f82_363e229730b7491796140e07c222bf8f~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_627,h_319,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ben Lewis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Recovery of Rare Earth Elements (REE) from Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) Using Geotextile Tube Dewatering Technology]]></title><description><![CDATA[Geotextile tube technology represents a promising and innovative solution for AMD dewatering and REE recovery. ]]></description><link>https://www.kontainsolutions.com/post/recovery-of-rare-earth-elements-ree-from-acid-mine-drainage-amd-using-geotextile-tube-dewatering</link><guid isPermaLink="false">67b6ba5fcefb4b91730ca081</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Feb 2025 05:17:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/152f82_edf1b2810946433ea23c0f4b622ef712~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_460,h_306,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ben Lewis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Technical Review of "New Technologies on Mine Process Tailings Disposal" Through a Geotextile Tube Dewatering Lens]]></title><description><![CDATA[The study reports and compares the cost estimates for tailings disposal methods (2016)]]></description><link>https://www.kontainsolutions.com/post/maximizing-dewatering-efficiency-with-geotextile-containers</link><guid isPermaLink="false">67b6b2698073607eeca49604</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Feb 2025 04:41:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/152f82_d95353860f434e3bbc1e70c5e7c43276~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_791,h_411,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ben Lewis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cost-Effective Dewatering Solutions for Geotechnical Engineers]]></title><description><![CDATA[Why Geotextile Tubes Should Be on Your Radar]]></description><link>https://www.kontainsolutions.com/post/cost-effective-dewatering-solutions-for-geotechnical-engineers</link><guid isPermaLink="false">67b6b2698073607eeca49606</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Feb 2025 04:41:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/152f82_41e50ba7cc9247dca9394721859a4260~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_601,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ben Lewis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modified Broms' Method for Formation of a Working Platform on Very Soft Soil Using Geotubes]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Modified Broms' Method enhances the original approach by incorporating geotextile tubes to stabilise the sand berms.]]></description><link>https://www.kontainsolutions.com/post/innovative-geobags-revolutionizing-dewatering-processes-for-mining</link><guid isPermaLink="false">67b6b2698073607eeca49605</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Feb 2025 04:41:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/152f82_1139ae3ea69e41cf99bc55c153e9e0c6~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_613,h_219,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ben Lewis</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
