Figure 7.13: The Geotube or “burrito” as it is known is shown here after it was positioned and filled with sand. Several openings on the top along the length of the geotube allow for infilling using pumped sand (or other material), and any water associated with the infilling can slowly drain through the geotube mesh (note the muddy bed at the base).
