Geosynthetics for Flood Protection

Geosynthetic materials are a critical part of flood management and mitigation.

From levees to stormwater retention basins to natural channels and streams, all water-holding structures can be affected by flood events, and each application requires a unique solution.

Take a look at our range of GCLs, geogrids, HPTRMs and anchoring systems to minimise and control environmental damage during flood events.

Flood protection levees: A complete high-performance sustainable flood protection levee solution with Bentofix® X Coated GCL as the high-performance sealing system (upstream), and Armormax® armouring as the approved sustainable armouring system for downstream slopes

Permanent stormwater drainage channel: Reinforced vegetation with Pyramat® High Performance Turf Reinforced Mat (HPTRM) for high flow velocities and shear values, with up to 100 years design life.

Permanent erosion control on slopes: Reinforced vegetation with Pyramat® Turf Reinforced Mats (HPTRMs) - A sustainable 100yrs design life replacement for rock/concrete.
