Sandy coasts are constantly reshaped by waves, currents and sediment transport – and storm surges can intensify this within hours. Which protection approach fits your site? Join our free 45-minute webinar on 12 November to see how geotextile sand containers and temporary bio-based solutions protect beaches and dunes. With insights from real coastal protection projects.

🌊 What really protects sandy coasts? Currents and sediment transport constantly reshape beaches and dunes. During storm surges, this often happens within a very short time. Effective coastal protection isn't about building as solidly as possible, but about choosing the right approach for the loads and service period at a given site. On 12 November, Janne Kristin Pries will give an insight into how protection systems for beaches and dunes can be assessed and planned: 🔹 How waves, currents and sediment transport drive coastal erosion 🔹 Which factors are decisive when choosing a coastal protection system 🔹 How geotextile sand containers work in erosion protection and how they are dimensioned 🔹 How long-term and temporary solutions can be combined for beaches and dunes Register now!

Across many infrastructure projects, progress is currently shaped not only by planning, but increasingly by the economic and technical assessment of suitable sealing solutions. When raw material availability, volatile markets and pressure in supply chains affect the procurement of geomembranes, project schedules and construction workflows can quickly come under pressure. Especially in the current situation, Bentofix® X deserves consideration. It is a coated geosynthetic clay liner (GCL), also referred to as a bentonite mat. High-swelling sodium bentonite forms the mineral sealing layer between two robust geotextile layers and is complemented by a firmly bonded polyethylene coating. Bentofix® X is particularly relevant wherever environmentally sensitive soils in infrastructure projects need to be reliably sealed – for example when using recycled soils in road construction. Further areas of application include drainage of traffic surfaces, trenches, and retention and storage ponds.

In certain construction sectors, coated bentonite mats should not be underestimated as an alternative to geomembranes! 🛣️💧 Bentofix® X is a coated geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) with high-swelling bentonite and an additional PE coating. In selected applications, the system may be a suitable alternative if the sealing solution originally planned for the project is reassessed from both a cost and technical perspective due to market developments. It is worth considering e.g. when using recycled soils in road construction or planning drainage of traffic surfaces, trenches, and retention and storage ponds. Would you like to assess whether your project could be redesigned from geomembrane to GCL? Talk to us. We will evaluate the project-specific suitability together with you ➡️ https://bit.ly/4tNJFQI

When raw material availability, disrupted supply chains and volatile markets are affecting the procurement of geomembranes, projects can quickly come under economic and scheduling pressure. This is exactly where Bentofix® X deserves consideration! It´s a coated bentonite mat that can be a technically suitable and readily available alternative in selected sealing applications. It is particularly relevant wherever environmentally sensitive soils in infrastructure projects need to be reliably sealed.

When supply chains fail, your project shouldn´t. Global disruptions are making HDPE and LLDPE harder to source, slowing projects and driving costs higher. In times like these, waiting isn’t an option. Bentofix® X is ready when you are. Beyond availability, it’s engineered and proven to reduce risk: ✔️Simpler installation. No welding or specialised equipment. ✔️Lower installation cost. Reduce time, labour, and risk. ✔️Self-healing performance. Bentonite seals punctures on contact with moisture. Whether it’s tight deadlines, complex designs, or unexpected challenges, we keep your containment systems reliable, from day one.
