Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to erosion and the impacts of rising sea levels. Geomembranes offer effective solutions for coastal protection and erosion control, helping to safeguard shorelines, beaches, and infrastructure along coastal regions.

Geomembranes can be used in the construction of coastal barriers and revetments to prevent wave action and erosion. These barriers act as a physical barrier, dissipating wave energy and protecting vulnerable areas from erosion and flooding. Geomembranes also reduce the loss of sediments and ensure the stability of beaches and dunes.

In addition, geomembranes are used in the construction of shoreline stabilization systems such as geotextile bags and geotubes. These systems are filled with sand or soil and then covered with a geomembrane to provide erosion control and shoreline protection. The geomembrane acts as a containment barrier, preventing the loss of fill material while allowing water to permeate through.

Furthermore, Geomembranes are employed in the construction of artificial reefs and offshore breakwaters, providing habitat for marine life and mitigating the impacts of wave action. These structures enhance coastal resilience and contribute to the preservation of biodiversity.

Geomembranes used in coastal protection and erosion control must possess excellent durability, resistance to UV degradation, and high tensile strength to withstand harsh marine environments. Proper design, installation, and regular inspection and maintenance are essential to ensure their long-term effectiveness.
