Engineered to save time
Move from a blank page to a defensible concept check.
These are practical decision aids for engineers, asset owners, contractors and regulators working across waste, water, mining and civil infrastructure. Where a calculation becomes a product performance requirement, Kontain can help select, document, price and supply a suitable geosynthetic system.
Compare the assumptions
See how the result moves when a defect, temperature, friction value, load case or factor of safety changes.
Move into supply
Keep the calculation record, then ask Kontain to recommend a grade, review compliance or price a nominated product.
Product-led technical support
Design tools that lead somewhere useful.
Kontain is building a broad, technically supported product portfolio. Bring us a performance requirement, project specification or simply the site problem—we can recommend the product pathway and prepare a supply offer.

Build a liner specification from the conditions — not a generic minimum.
The Liner Specification Builder works through chemistry, temperature, ultraviolet exposure, geometry, consequence and installation risk to develop an editable, property-level geomembrane specification and an appropriate MQA/CQA basis.
- HDPE and LLDPE material pathways
- SCR, OIT and HP-OIT durability parameters
- Texture, interface and installation-risk prompts
- Editable, print-ready specification output
Need material data or pricing? Kontain can review the generated performance requirements against available product options.

The complete suite
Nine more tools. One connected design problem.
Use one calculator for a focused check, or work across the suite to understand how hydraulic, geotechnical, material and construction decisions interact.
02Wind & construction
Wind, leak equalisation & ballast
Screen exposed geomembrane uplift, compare connected-air and nominated-defect cases, and size full-cover or line-ballast responses where restraint is indicated.
Key outputUplift pressure · strain · trigger time · ballast load
Open tool 03Hydraulics
Leakage rate
Estimate leakage through liner defects using hydraulic head, defect size and liner-to-subgrade contact assumptions for early containment and drainage checks.
Key outputFlow per defect · total leakage · scenario comparison
Open tool 04Drainage
Geocomposite drainage
Calculate required transmissivity for leachate collection and leak-detection layers, then compare the design demand with product-level capacity.
Key outputRequired flow capacity · transmissivity demand · margin
Open tool 05Anchorage
Anchor trench
Develop an indicative anchor-trench resistance check using liner load, geometry and soil assumptions to expose pull-out and detailing risks early.
Key outputDemand · resistance · factor of safety · concept geometry
Open tool 06Slope stability
Soil veneer stability
Assess the stability of cover soil placed over geosynthetic interfaces on slopes, including the effect of interface friction and material geometry.
Key outputDriving force · resistance · factor of safety
Open tool 07Installation risk
Wrinkle stress
Explore how wrinkle geometry and overburden loading can concentrate strain and stress before cover placement or during construction staging.
Key outputWrinkle geometry · stress indicator · review flags
Open tool 08Protection
Cushion & puncture protection
Screen whether a protection geotextile is proportionate to the subgrade, aggregate, confining pressure and consequence of liner damage.
Key outputProtection demand · risk class · testing guidance
Open tool 09Durability
Liner longevity
Compare antioxidant depletion and service-life scenarios using exposure temperature, material data and site-specific ageing assumptions.
Key outputScenario life · sensitivity · critical assumptions
Open tool 10Mining
Heap leach stability
Run a preliminary stability screen across heap height, slope, liner interfaces, GCL shear behaviour and drainage assumptions before detailed modelling.
Key outputInterface demand · stability indicators · design flags
Open tool Connected engineering
A liner does not fail in a spreadsheet cell.
Wind exposure, wrinkles, drainage, cover stability, interface shear, protection and long-term durability interact in the field. Kontain connects the early design check with product data, supply options and practical installation guidance so requirements do not get lost between design and procurement.
Discuss the product requirementA practical workflow
Use the result as the start of the engineering conversation.
Each tool is designed to make assumptions visible, produce a useful record and show where project-specific testing or detailed analysis is still required.
Select
Choose the design question and confirm whether the tool is suitable for the decision stage.
Input
Enter project geometry, loading, exposure and material assumptions using metric or imperial units.
Stress-test
Change uncertain inputs and compare scenarios instead of relying on one apparently precise answer.
Specify & source
Print the record, verify the basis, then ask Kontain to recommend, document and price a suitable product.
Use the tools intelligently
Screening tools.
Not certified design.
The calculators are deliberately useful, but they cannot know your site, contract, regulatory basis, materials, construction sequence or consequence of failure.
Indicative outputs
Results use simplified published methods and are only as reliable as the inputs and assumptions entered.
Project verification required
Check governing standards, manufacturer data, site investigation, interface testing and the project specification.
Professional adoption
A suitably qualified practising engineer must independently verify and adopt any result used for design, procurement or construction.
Product sales & technical support
Have a specification—or just a site problem?
Send the application, performance requirement or drawings. Kontain can recommend a suitable product grade, identify the information still needed, review a nominated specification and prepare a clear supply quotation.
