How we work · Specification and supply
This is the commercial approach behind our lining, Kontainer™ Geobags and D&C work. We identify the material requirements and evidence needed, state when Kontain intends to supply and agree the technical and commercial scope for each project.
Applied across the range
This page explains the commercial method. Project design, drawing and supply deliverables are defined on the relevant service page and in the proposal.
The agreed planning scope is included when Kontain supplies the geobags, liner and associated materials. The project proposal defines the drawings, inputs, review and operating boundaries.
Material requirements and any project-specific design input are agreed before the supply offer. Alternatives can be assessed against the same performance and quality evidence.
Competition and transparency
Kontain encourages evidence-based competition where it suits the project. A material specification can set minimum performance, testing and QA requirements without quietly locking the project to one brand.
We state when Kontain intends to quote and supply.
The agreed commercial basis is disclosed upfront.
Products are compared against named evidence and project conditions.
Material differences, limitations and unresolved inputs remain visible.
From site need to supplied material
Kontain's role is to make the required product, evidence and interfaces clear enough that the site can make an informed procurement decision.
State the separation, filtration, drainage, reinforcement, containment, protection or dewatering outcome before naming a product.
Set relevant properties, test methods, directions, durability, geometry, interfaces, QA evidence and permitted qualifications.
Use performance-based criteria where practical so genuine alternatives can be compared on the same evidence rather than excluded by a brand name.
Disclose where Kontain intends to supply, explain the supply basis and agree any margin or fee structure before the order.
Coordinate manufacture, documentation, freight, warranty route and site support through the Australian contracting supplier.
For project owners and engineering teams
Direct importing can leave the purchaser carrying product selection, production follow-up, shipping, documentation, claims and site-interface risk. Under Kontain's supply model, those interfaces are managed through Kontain as the Australian contracting supplier, with the scope and destination responsibilities agreed for each order.
Product documentation, any offered manufacturer warranty, technical support and commercial limitations are defined in the project quotation. Warranty and insurance terms are project- and policy-specific; Kontain does not make a blanket promise beyond the accepted supply terms.

For design & construct teams
CAD drawings, specifications and material supply for geobag platforms, lined ponds and dam liners are set out in the dedicated D&C pathway, with survey, ground and hydraulic inputs from the project team.
