The solution selected involves a prefabricated mattress assembled in a plant, wound on to a floating cylinder and transported to the site where it is laid on the sea-bed with the help of a special pontoon .... The filter mattress used for the foundation of the piers consists of three layers of granular material, sand, fine gravel and gravel, packed in a system of geotextiles. The mattresses are 42 X 200 m. To limit the weight and yet to maintain the three layers, it was decided to use a total thickness of 0.36 m, which results in a mattress weight of 5000 tonnes. 1, record 1, English, - filter%20mattress

Fonctions du géotextile (...) filtre : le géotextile limite jusqu'à stabilisation la migration de particules fines du sol support vers le tapis parafouille sous l'action des courants de percolation, empêche ainsi une érosion interne de ces sols et une ruine consécutive de l'ouvrage de protection, tout en maintenant la libre circulation de l'eau. Séparation : le géotextile délimite les matériaux formant le tapis parafouille et les sols sous-jacents et évite leur interpénétration. 1, record 1, French, - tapis%20parafouille
