These containers are made from high-strength woven geotextiles, designed to contain soil-derived material and create heavy-duty elements used in slope stabilization and channel protection for riparian defenses.
Depending on the technical requirements of the project, they can be made of polypropylene or polyester, ensuring adaptability and high performance according to the needs of each project.
Advantages / Benefits
Efficient solution using local materials: Allows the construction of riparian barriers with local materials (soil, sand, and gravel), reducing the need for external inputs.
Structural stability with great strength: Capable of stabilizing slopes due to the high-modulus woven geotextile’s great strength and high fill weights.
Fast and cost-effective installation: They are easy to install, reducing labor costs and project installation time.
Adaptability to any terrain: Their flexibility allows them to adapt to different shapes and surfaces, facilitating their use in uneven or hard-to-reach areas.
Permeability for better hydraulic control: They allow flows to enter and exit.

Zarumilla River, Tumbes, Peru
In the 8.8 km stretch between Pueblo Nuevo and the La Palma intake on the left bank of the Zarumilla River, Hydrobag solutions were implemented to mitigate the effects of peak flooding. Two applications were defined depending on the hydraulic conditions: the first with geocells and geotextile bags in the anti-scour lip, and the second with geotextile bags distributed across the entire slope.
These flexible structures improved resistance to scour and reduced the risk of progressive erosion. The application of geosynthetic materials provided an efficient and quickly installed solution in a highly vulnerable area.
Corrales Creek, Tumbes, Peru
Within the framework of the Tumbes River Riparian Defenses Project – Package 2, the Authority for Reconstruction with Change (ARCC) developed a strategic intervention in the Corrales Creek by constructing longitudinal and transverse levees, aimed at reducing the risk of flooding due to the creek’s activation. To this end, concrete-filled geocells were implemented on the slopes and Hydrobags were used as an anti-scour solution, improving the stability of the hydraulic infrastructure.
This combination of technologies effectively protected more than 24,000 residents and exposed agricultural areas, guaranteeing a robust technical solution adaptable to the area’s geomorphological conditions. Furthermore, the construction efficiency and resilience of the geosynthetics contributed to a safe, long-lasting, and sustainable construction in the face of extreme weather events.
Petrotal Block 95 - Ucayali River, Loreto, Peru
To mitigate the effects of progressive erosion in the Ucayali River channel, in the area of Location 2A of Lot 95 (Puinahua, Requena, Loreto), a hydraulic protection system was implemented using hydrobags. This intervention was key to preserving the integrity of the land and the infrastructure linked to the oil operation in an area highly exposed to seasonal flow variations.
The hydrobag-based solution effectively stabilized and controlled erosion of the riverbanks, reducing the risk of undermining and ensuring operational continuity in a highly environmentally sensitive environment. The implemented technology offered a flexible, efficient, and sustainable response to the fluvial dynamics of the Amazon, contributing to the protection of strategic assets in a region critical to the country’s energy industry.
Olmos Tinajones Project, Lambayeque, Peru
Following the collapse of the old earthen levees on the Chancay River, a riparian defense system using hydrobags was implemented to immediately protect the agricultural areas of the Olmos Tinajones Special Project (PEOT). The urgency of the intervention required a technical solution that could be installed quickly, utilizing local materials to accelerate the work without compromising its effectiveness.
The hydrobags allowed for the formation of stable and resistant hydraulic structures, accompanied by rigid multiaxial geogrids for abrasion protection of the hydrobag. This significantly reduced the risk of further flooding in a key productive sector for the region, making it an efficient, safe, and adaptable solution to meet the project’s demands.
