Geosynthetics are often used in revetments along the slopes canals and reservoirs, as well as along flowing waters in streams or rivers as described in various guidelines. Heavy Terrafix® filter geotextiles are specified and installed due to their unique qualities and their ability to prevent scouring below revetments or rip-rap. They are also sufficiently robust to prevent their injury from potentially damaging covering operations.

Sand-filled composite Terrafix® products are also used to create sea dikes, which help reduce coastal erosion. Bentofix® Geosynthetic Clay Liners are used in hydraulic engineering applications to seal structures, impoundments or channels.

When compared to conventional construction methods, complete geosynthetic solutions from NAUE, are typically more economical, consume less space and save resources to reduce installation costs. Geosynthetics can be efficiently installed with precision, even under water. They are durable as well as adaptable, and have a long service life
