Naue Case Studies
Combigrid® – Manjung Coal Fired Power Plant – Malaysia
The coal fired power plant Manjung 4 or Sultan Azlan Shah power station is considered to be one of the biggest Independent Power Producer (IPP) projects in Asia. Located 4.5m above sea level on 320ha of reclaimed land on the coast of Perak in Malaysia, the Manjung 4 consists of 5 units, with a total capacity of 4.1GW. An average of 30,000 tonnes of coal per day or 15 million tonnes of coal per year are consumed for electricity generation.
Bentofix® X – Hervey Range and Stuart Landfill
Townsville city lies on the northeast coast of Queensland, Australia with an estimated population of 200,000. Townsville city council runs three operational landfills that are open to the public. The Townsville Waste Services Department issued documentation for contract in late 2014 for capping and stormwater management of its two largest waste facilities at the Stuart landfill and the Hervey Range landfill. The Stuart landfill has an area of 81 hectares, while the total area of the Hervey Range landfill is approximately 74.6 hectares.
Secugrid® HS – Reconstruction of Oder dyke in Uckermark county
In the summer of 1997, the largest known flood occurred along the German-Polish border river Oder. Due to the flood situation lasting several weeks, around 5,500 hectares of agricultural land and residential area with about 400 houses were flooded as a result of multiple dyke failures. Several thousand people had to be evacuated.
Secugrid® Combigrid® – Gardens by the Bay – Singapore
Singapore is one of the most densely populated places in the world. Green space on this tightly developed island comes at a premium, but it has become the mission of this Asian city-state to transform itself into a truly green, world city. The impressive Gardens by the Bay installation is the result: a 101ha spread of botanical gardens, forestry, walking trails and waterway views in the heart of Singapore. It’s built on land reclaimed from the sea, and geosynthetics from Naue have played a major role in bringing this garden vision to life.
Secutex® Soft Rock – Subang Skypark Rail Project – Malaysia
The electrified double tracking project between the city of Subang Jaya and Skypark Terminal in Malaysia was funded by the Government through Ministry of Transport. The aim was to provide rail-based public transport to connect the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah (SAAS) Airport Terminal 3 (Skypark Terminal) and its vicinity with the existing railway network.
Secugrid® – Carland Cross Wind Farm
Secugrid® geogrids from Naue proved to be the most cost-effective and technically beneficial solution for the mechanical reinforcement of unbound access roads and crane pads.
Bentofix® – Penilee Park Drainage Basins – UK
As part of the Hillington and Cardonald Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP), construction works have been carried out at Penilee; a small housing scheme and suburb on the western outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland, bounded to its east by the Glasgow suburbs of Cardonald and Hillington, with the Renfrewshire border and Paisley suburbs to the west.
Bentofix® – Musselburgh Ash Lagoons – UK
The ash lagoons at Levenhall Links, on the outskirts of Musselburgh, in Scotland, were constructed in the 1960s on land which had been reclaimed from the Forth estuary. Created to accommodate spoil from Scottish Power's coal-fired Cockenzie Power Station, which ceased operation in 2013, waste fly ash was mixed with water to form a slurry and then transported from the plant, through a network of pipes, to be deposited in the lagoons.
Combigrid® Secugrid® – Electric vehicle battery gigafactory
Naue have supplied Combigrid® and Secugrid® products for use in the construction of working platforms, to support piling and crane operations, during construction of a gigafactory which will span 50 hectares of land at the International Advanced Manufacturing Park (IAMP) in the north east of England, on the border between South Tyneside and Sunderland.
Carbofol® Combigrid® Secutex® – Closure of Gyöngyös mine – Hungary
Whatever occurs during the active phase of a mine’s life, the need for an environmentally responsible closure is always present. Mining activities can involve contamination of soils and/or groundwater, mean-ing environmental threats might remain after the operation phase. This also applied in the case of the Gyöngyös mine.
Secumat® – Al Batinah Expressway – Oman
The Al Batinah expressway is a strategic infrastructure project which connects Muscat expressway with the border crossing at Khatmat Malaha to the United Arab Emirates. The expressway is a meaningful connection; it passes close to the highly frequented port of Sohar, which manages more than a million tons of sea freight weekly.
Secutex® Soft Rock – East Coast Sea Revetment – Singapore
As an island nation, Singapore is vulnerable to the impacts of sea-level rise. Over the years, Singapore’s coastline has receded, and residents of various regions are also observing erosion. The East Coast region is one of the highly impacted areas, with a few eroded beach parts observed.
