We will find the Solution Major factors such as climate change, population growth and continuing economic expansion are making sustainable hydraulic engineering solutions ever more crucial. Engineering Excellence HUESKER‘s products and engineering services enable the safe and economic construction of waterways, reliably protecting infrastructure against water action movement and allowing the creation of new waterside areas. Our tailored geosynthetic product solutions ensure that the elemental forces of water are safely channelled and controlled. HUESKER has been setting new standards in the...

Product Excellence in Hydraulic Engineering Solutions to your Challenges Filtration, separation, protection, containment, reinforcement and lining: These, together with erosion control, are among the key functions of geosynthetics in hydraulic engineering. Boasting a 150-year-plus track record in textile production, HUESKER now ranks among the world‘s market leaders in the geotextile sector. We capitalise on this know-how every day in the manufacture of our products. Incomat Concrete Mattress System Erosion control, lining HUESKER offers a broad range of premium-quality geosynthetic...

Hydraulic Engineering Solutions Your Requirements Reliable Performance Dependable hydraulic engineering solutions, however complex the structure, through engineering excellence at the cutting edge of science and technology. Cost-Effectiveness Efficiency through rational deployment of precious financial and natural resources. Our Specialties Dams and dikes Flood control and water containment are gaining increasing importance in many parts of the world. We specialise in the use of geosynthetic components to build safe dam and dike structures. Our products and engineering solutions are used to...

Reliable Flood Control and Water Con tainment Enhanced reliability Base reinforcement Tested and certified geosynthetic products can be used to extend the service life of structures or substantially reduce the risk of failure. The filtrationstable containment of dike cores with geosynthetic products, among other things, almost completely rules out any risk of dike failure due to internal erosion processes. Provision for a suitable geotextile filter eliminates the need for any elaborate and error-prone installation of mineral filter layers, especially under water. • Structural stability on...

Groynes and Breakwaters Sustainable Coastal and Bank Protection Economical alternative to traditional constructions Base area Conventional stone fill structures generally comprise a core, several filter layers and a top layer. Industrially manufactured geosynthetics and tailored system solutions incorporating custom-fabricated units allow the optimisation of structural geometries and cross-sections. Furthermore, the use of locally sourced materials such as sand vastly reduces the need for cost-intensive material shipments, e.g. of armour stone. • Reinforcement/filter layer at base •...

Efficient Material Use and Maximum Reliability Fast and flexible installation Filter and protective layer Over the years, geotextile filters have established themselves as a standard revetment solution. Specification of a suitable geosynthetic system paves the way for the quick and efficient construction of longlasting revetments. Geosynthetic products also lend themselves to use in remedial protective measures, e.g. scour fill at the toe of slopes or the stabilisation of eroding cliffs. • Geotextile filter • Constant filter layer thickness • High robustness • Reduced revetment construction...

15 CanalsSupreme Lining and Erosion Control Performance Lining under operating conditions Particularly on power station canal refurbishment projects where installation of the lining necessitates drainage of the canal, the resulting downtime and lost energy production pose a major problem. Here, Incomat Standard, a lining system requiring neither full nor partial canal drainage, offers the ideal solution. The concrete lining also provides long-lasting erosion protection. Filter and separation layer • Geotextile filters • Constant filter and protective layer thickness • High robustness •...

Economical Alternatives to Conventional Stone Fill Heavy-duty revetments for underwater installation Filter and separation layer Unlike conventional stone revetments, concrete mattresses allow the installation of slender, efficient, heavy-duty revetments, e.g. for boat landings, even at greater water depths. They can replace stone layers of several metres thickness: providing a robust alternative scour protection solution. • Use of prefabricated sinking mattresses or sand mats • Installation at greater water depths • Replacement of mineral filters • Reduced revetment construction thickness...

Land Reclamation Innovative System Solutions for Perimeter Dikes Efficient construction Base area Geosynthetic products facilitate construction in water and waterside areas. The erosion-resistant containment of fill materials simplifies and speeds up the erection of dams and dikes under the action of wave and current loads. • Geosynthetic reinforcement/filter layer • Simultaneous filtration and separation function • Straightforward underwater installation compared to standard solutions • Particularly advantageous in tidal areas • Evening out of settlement • Stabilenka • Fortrac and Robutec...
