1. Scour protection
Without counter measures against scouring
Without counter measures against scouring
Scouring was observed around the foundation of a turbine.
With counter measures against scouring
Filter Units were installed.
Scouring was prevented by Filter Unit.
2. Cable protection
Without counter measures
Without counter measures against scouring
Cable sways.
If cable sways continuously, it may be seriously damaged.
With counter measures
Filter Units were installed.
Swaying of cable is restrained by weight of Filter Unit.
Filter Unit will be applied in multiple lines when velocity of flow is fast.
3. Adjustment of uneven seabed for cable and pipeline installation
Uneven seabed is adjusted by Filter Unit at cable and pipeline installation.
Place Filter Unit where cable or pipeline is installed.
Filter Units are installed into the gap.
Cable or pipeline is installed.
4. Creation of crossing for cable or pipeline.
Filter Units are installed at the crossing of "cable and cable" or "cable and pipeline." They will create certain gaps and prevent contact of cable or pipeline and stabilize the crossing.
Install Filter Units on the top of cable or pipeline.
Cable or pipeline will be installed on the top of existing cable or pipeline.
Filter Unit will be installed on the top of crossing to stabilize the crossing.

6. Application: Protection Of Below J-tube
Use Filter Unit For River Construction
| Standard | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Application | Illustration | Note | Example |
| River Bank Protection |  |
The bag is used at the front of bank independently as foot protection. The installation methods are step piling and random piling. |  |
| Foot Protection |  |
Filter Unit is installed on the riverbed. In order to construct it without gaps, small size fillings are recommended. |  |
| River Dike Protection |  |
Step pilling applies at a slope which becomes 1:2 or less(steep). |  |
 |
Level installation applies at a slope which becomes more than 1:2 (loose). |  |
|
| Riverbed Protection |  |
Filter Unit is installed on the riverbed. In order to construct it without gap, small size fillings are recommended. |  |

|---|---|---|---|
| Application | Illustration | Note | Example |
| Over Block |  |
Filter Unit is used on foot protection blocks. It may be used as a vegetation base with earth covering. |  |
| Under Block |  |
By using it under a foot protection block or a covering stone, an upside structure is stabilized from subsidence by sucking etc. |  |
| With Other Construction |
 |
Filter Unit installed in wooden pile or other methods of construction at inside, back and forth. The cooperation effect with other methods of construction is expected. |  |
| Protection Of Front Part |  |
Bank protection etc. are stabilized by installing the bag in the fronts, such as gabion, sandbag and a sheet pile. |  |
| Emergency Procedure |  |
Filter unit is installed at a disaster place and erosion is prevented. An additional injection is possible because it has good flexibility. |  |
| Temporary Road |  |
To avoid damage of Filter Unit by passing heavy construction machine directly on Filter Units, please install steel plate on the top. |  |
| Filter Unit With Gabion |  |
We recommend to use Filter Unit and gabion together at the place like in the water, where work with gabion is difficult. |  |
