We are pleased to announce that another couple of truckloads of MIRAFI® HM𝘪 geotextile, prepared by SWITCH (a contracting group comprised of Strukton Civiel), Mobilis TBI, and Koninklijke Oosterhof Holman) from the TenneT TSO B.V. project, are set to enter our recycling process. With this, we’ve now diverted nearly 500 tons of waste from landfills, promoting the recycling of geotextiles and the reuse of valuable soil in construction projects. It's encouraging to see more project owners and contractors recognizing the importance of reducing their project footprint by choosing geotextile recycling solutions.

🌍 Today is World Cleanup Day! 🌍 This week, our incredible teams across EMEA have been actively contributing to cleaner communities by organizing clean-up activities around their sites. 💪 We encouraged everyone to join in, whether individually or as a group—no effort is too small when it comes to making a positive environmental impact! A big shout-out to our dedicated team in Bezons, France, who collected nearly 30 kg of litter in just one hour, removing cigarette butts, cans, plastic packaging, and even some surprising finds—a fork and a bath towel! 🧹🛁 Not to be outdone, our teams at the 6th October site in Cairo, Egypt, and Linz, Austria, also rallied together to clean up their local areas, showcasing the power of teamwork for a good cause. 🌎 To everyone who participated — congratulations and thank you for making a difference! #WorldCleanupDay #WEARESOLMAX #CommunityImpact #EnvironmentalResponsibility

Our colleagues & partners had a busy and incredible month connecting with our global network. Take a look at a few of our recent event highlights: Our Technical Services Manager, Ir. Marcus Jong Ching Joo presented at a seminar on reinforced fill organized by the AGS - Association of Geotechnical & Geoenvironmental Specialists Hong Kong. Marcus shared his topic on “Geotextile Reinforcement and Filtration for Reinforced Fill Structures” covering the latest innovation in wicking geotextiles with enhanced in-plane drainage capabilities which reduces moisture content for enhanced stability in reinforced structures. Our EMEA Team attended the ECSMGE 24 XVIII European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering alongside Geosin Geosynthetics. The show was a great success, and our team had the opportunity to connect with new and existing customers from around the globe. Our EMEA Marketing Team also had the opportunity to connect with one another in Lisbon. Jose Luis Cuenca Lorenzo, Ricardo Sánchez Pérez, Abdelkader ABDELOUHAB, Alain Nancey, Dick Janse, Gijs Groen, Karen Lubbe, Edwin Zengerink, Catrin Tarnowski, Michael Uebigau, Juergen Gruber Persatuan Insinyur Indonesia (Official) (PII), hosted an awards night for young engineers in Riau, where rinanda yendika, Business Development Manager of Solmax Indonesia, was honored with the title of Inspirational Figure in Infrastructure Development and Geosynthetic Technology. Congratulations Rinanda! Dustin R. Taylor, PE attended the Seattle ASCE YMF's annual Mariners game, which was sponsored by Solmax. An incredible day made even better by all the volunteers & attendees who showed up despite the rain. Marcus Jong Ching Joo, Muhammad Hadi Fadhillah, Mario Basri, Doyo Lujeng Dwiarso, heru prasetyo, Hermann Ng, Norhisam Omar, radite sylvaranto, Stephen Teh and Kurniawan Syahrir attended an an insightful 2-day geosynthetics conference at Pekan Baru. A shout out of appreciation to our speakers, delegates and team for an outstanding event. We look forward to sharing more innovative civil and environmental engineering solutions with everyone. Our Indonesian team, including Doyo Lujeng Dwiarso, Muhammad Hadi Fadhillah and heru prasetyo, attended the 6th International Conference on Geotechnical Engineering in Semarang, Indonesia. Our Philippine colleagues attended the MAEM 30th Annual Mining Symposium in Davao City. Ricky Wong and Kenneth Laguitao also presented dewatering and geosynthetic solutions to the mining industry. Ricky Wong, Luddawan Inpoo and Preedidhep Anujorn participated in Palmex Thailand 2024. It was a great opportunity to showcase our innovations, network with industry leaders, and strengthen our presence in the palm oil sector. Nathalia Castro along with colleague Bryan Hamilton visited the Geosynthetic Institute.  #WEARESOLMAX

Watch how a potash tailings pile at a salt mine in Germany was expanded → https://lnkd.in/dz5gqeNd The Potash tailings pile at K+S Minerals and Agriculture GmbH Werra plant site needed expansion as it reached maximum capacity. A hydraulic separation system was installed to prevent water seepage between the extension and the existing heap. Due to the steep, mountainous terrain, reinforcement was required before installation. Solmax addressed logistical challenges by using off-road vehicles and transporting materials up the slope with an excavator. The heaps were sealed with GSE® HD. #GSE #Potash #Mining
