New Concrete Canvas GCCM Patent to be Granted for Third Generation Technology
This development grows Concrete Canvas’ global IP portfolio to 99 granted Patent Rights
ATARFIL Develops Machine for the Automated Deployment, Welding and Installation of Geomembranes
The deployment machine, welding machine, installation equipment and method for the automated installation of geomembranes relate to a deployment machine and a welding machine which, in combination, form equipment for the automated installation of geomembranes or membranes. Specifically, the equipment comprises an automatic deployment machine (1) for the deployment of geomembrane rolls (2); a welding machine (3) for welding the deployed geomembranes (2 and 2′) which is electronically connected and has self-guiding capability to automatically correct its path and ensure a preset overlapping of the membrane or geomembranes (2) by working in synchronization with the displacement of the deployment machine (1); and a computer control and planning unit. The method comprises: a step for parameterization and mapping of the terrain using 3D topography; a step for planning the deployment and welding using a specific computer system; and a step for deployment and welding comprising simultaneous and automated deployment and welding using a deployment machine (1) and a welding machine (3) synchronized with one another, with a geolocation positioning system and a process monitoring system.
World First – Tensar Patent Fully Internet Enable Geogrid for Tracking
Disclosed are various aspects for systems and methods of lifecycle tracking, coordinate tracking, and inventory management of geogrid materials utilizing an IoT platform configured with software for accepting data from a multi-sensor tracking unit. In one aspect, a multi-sensor tracking unit is affixed to geogrid material, wherein the unit transmits information acquired from a plurality of sensors back to the IoT platform hosted on a server. The IoT platform processes the information and derives insight into the geogrid’s logistics, including its route from the manufacturing facility to final install, the weather incurred, and logistics around supply. In other aspects, methods for processing data, including accessing API’s to derive additional information about the geogrid’s transportation path, delivery, and install through information acquired from the multi-sensor tracking unit and processing by the IoT platform.
Modern Dispersions to Unveil New Black Masterbatch for Geomembranes at K 2025 in Germany
The company has launched a new black masterbatch grade called GM-540-7UVS. The new grade meets the industry’s GM13 standard for use in geomembranes.
It is a 40% carbon black polyolefin masterbatch containing a specific additive package which protects the geomembrane from long-term heat and UV exposure.

Italian Geomembrane Extruder Manufacturer BG PLAST IMPIANTI S.R.L. Showcases New Coextrusion System for Multilayer Liners
BG Plast lines for geomembranes allow the coextrusion of multiple layers, with the possibility of direct lamination with geotextiles and the use of different polyolefin formulations, such as HDPE, LDPE, and PP. The membranes can be made with a smooth or structured (nip) surface, depending on the final application. The heart of the system is a high-pressure calender with precision electromechanical control and independent temperature control systems, which guarantee uniform thickness even over large widths.
