For D&C contractors

Liner and dewatering packages that fit the civil design.

Kontain develops defined-scope liner details, geobag platform layouts, material specifications and take-offs. We work with your survey, geotechnical, hydraulic and civil design leads to resolve the interfaces before construction issue.

The Kontain structure

Geosynthetic supply and design input. A separate geotechnical service.

Lining specifications, optimisation and supply sit alongside geobag design and supply. Custom manufacture and the standard product range support these applications and broader civil works. Geotechnical investigations are separately scoped in South Australia.

Lining and geobag systems

Liner specifications, optimisation and design input; geobag civil drawings, layouts and stacks; and the project materials.

Core · Custom and standard geosynthetics

Project-developed formats plus a focused product range, with evidence, QA and delivery connected.

Separate · Geotechnical services

Commercial site investigations, engineering interpretation and reporting across Adelaide and South Australia.

Project manufacture and supply

Developed for the job—not pulled from a retail shelf.

Kontain connects specification, manufacture, QA, commercial terms and delivery. The supply basis is stated early so the technical recommendation and commercial interest remain visible.

Lining systemsSpecifications, optimisation and supply

The required design input, material schedule and commercial basis are agreed for each lining project.

Kontainer™ GeobagsDesign scope included with supply

The agreed civil specification, drawings, layout and stack planning are recovered through the geobag, liner and associated material supply.

Custom productsFormats and construction by project

Rolls, cores, strengths, laminations and fabricated details are developed within manufacturing and testing constraints.

Standard rangeProject or production minimums

The applicable minimum order, programme, quality documents and delivery basis are confirmed before the offer.

Standard product range

Application-led selection

Match the geosynthetic mechanism and product family to the project conditions, performance objective and construction method.

Design screening

Provide transparent preliminary calculations and identify the inputs that still require confirmation by the project designer.

Evidence review

Compare specifications, published properties, durability, chemistry and testing evidence without hiding important departures.

Technical submissions

Prepare data schedules, compliance matrices, installation guidance, evidence registers and project-specific qualifications.

Custom manufacture

Develop strengths, roll and core formats, laminations, fabrication and quality documentation around the actual project conditions.

Delivery & field support

Plan freight, direct-to-site delivery, installation guidance, hold points and rapid project clarification as one supply pathway.

How project-direct supply works

From an incomplete brief to a buildable delivery.

You do not need to prepare a perfect enquiry. Send what exists; Kontain will identify the next information that materially changes selection or price.

Send the project inputs

A specification, schedule, drawing, quantity or simply the site problem is enough to start.

Select and verify

We match the product family, identify missing design inputs and state what still needs confirmation.

Price the complete delivery

Manufacture, container utilisation, freight and documentation are planned around the agreed destination port or site.

Support the field team

Installation guidance, hold points, quick clarifications and project records remain connected to the supply.

Free design and selection tools

Turn early project inputs into a clearer technical conversation.

The mechanically stabilised pavement tool compares with-grid and without-grid sections, quantities and costs using the published Giroud–Han method. The liner suite is also open immediately, while the geobag tools remain free with access provided on request.

Separate service line · South Australia

Commercial geotechnical investigations—distinct from product supply.

Alongside its geosynthetic business, Kontain separately plans, coordinates and reports geotechnical investigations for commercial, industrial, subdivision and civil projects. The service is Adelaide and South Australia focused, with particular strength in soft ground, foundations, pavements and earthworks.
