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.

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.

This sports facility is located in the XIth district of Budapest near the Danube River. The complex was inaugurated in the year 2014. The building is characterised by 84 glass pyramid „spike“ skylights, each six metres high, installed in the centre of the steel roof structure, allowing natural light into the hall over an area of 42 × 18 metres. This building is of great interest to the public; it is a visual focus for the people and serves as a meeting point in their free time.
Secutex® – Heideradweg from Turnow to Weichensdorf – Germany
With the construction of the Heideradweg, the district of Spree-Neiße is supporting nature-based and sustainable tourism in the region. The cycle path is a project of the International Nature Exhibition Lieberoser Heide. It is intended in particular to link adjacent projects of the International Nature Exhibition in terms of content. The total length, including roads that have already been upgraded, is approximately 23.6 kilometres. Most of the cycle path runs along the former Cottbus-Frankfurt (Oder) railway line - Lot 1. In the south, it borders on various long-distance cycle paths, and in Oelsen it is to be connected to the existing long-distance cycle path network in the future.
Secugrid® Combigrid® – Hervey Bay Airport – Australia
Fraser Coast Regional Council (FCRC) undertook a runway assessment of its Hervey Bay Airport facility in November 2014, as part of its airport master planning initiative. The investigation and report were compiled by GHD and presented to Council in December 2014. Conclusions from the report indicated that the runway was approaching its useful life expectancy and deterioration was as per the predicted wear rate. However, increased traffic from medium passenger jets could increase the rate of wear and decrease the predicted life span.
