Our geomembrane solution has undergone testing since 2011 at Wavegarden’s R&D facility and has also been proven effective at commercial Wavegarden facilities, such as Praia da Grama and Surfland Brasil. Wavegarden engineers have spent over a decade researching the most robust, efficient and economically viable solutions for the construction and waterproofing of our lagoons.
We can tailor solutions for projects with specific issues that would otherwise prevent installation of the geomembrane system. All alternative solutions have been tested at our R&D center or at our commercial sites.
“The civil works and waterproofing of lagoons has historically been a significant challenge in our sector. This is not surprising given that waterproofing a body of water with waves requires a more innovative and complex technological solution than doing it for calm water. After many years of detailed R&D, we are proud to confirm that we now have a proven, robust and efficient solution”.
