Geotub
The column repair of the boat dock in Pozzuoli required work to be carried out in submerged conditions. Geotub was made from water-resistant recycled plastic, helping complete the task in a timely manner, which would have been challenging with wood and metal formwork.

Geopanel
The Sydney Light Rail project involved constructing several large 2.5 x 1.9 x 2.4 m manholes for the sewer system access. Geopanel was small, reusable, and lightweight, allowing for the quick manual set-up of the pits in a confined area.
