Dam body: Compared to conventional construction methods, the earth-filled tubes can be used to build sustainable and resource-saving dams with extended functionality and at least the same safety and durability requirements.

Outlet structure: Since soil-filled geotextile tubes are flow-through structures (depending on the permeability of the fill) is a so-called flow-through construction, it is possible to design the dam in sections as a self-acting outlet structure.

Cost savings: The lower land consumption of the dam body, the use of local excavated soil, e.g. from the basin, generally reduce the overall costs. Furthermore, the design of the dam body as a sectional outlet significantly reduces costs, since a supplementary technical outlet structure can be dispensed with.

Inlet structure for HRB: If the structure is constructed in the tributary to the watercourse, an overflow sill can be provided in the dam body. Due to the overflow capability of the dike core made of topotubes, this can be provided risk-free with a calculable maintenance effort after floods.
