How TenCate Geosynthetics Protects the Coast through Marine Structures

As summertime approaches, many people begin to envision their beach vacations- a time filled with swimming, boating and fishing, or even just relaxing in the sand. However, along with summertime comes storms and weather that can create substantial damage to our beaches. 

Since many of these coastal areas are prone to erosion, TenCate Geosynthetics has developed solutions to protect shorelines, rebuild beaches, and reclaim land from the sea. Learn more about how our company is helping protect shorelines and islands!
