The Naue SolutionFinder is a free, guided online planning tool in the Naue Portal that takes design engineers, contractors and project owners from a specific application to a fully documented geosynthetic solution. Instead of searching separately for the right product, the required calculation and the matching tender text, users answer a short sequence of application-specific questions and receive a recommended product, the underlying design and a ready-to-use project report. The SolutionFinder covers eight construction sectors - road and earthworks, erosion control, hydraulic engineering, landfill, groundwater protection, railway, renewable energy and oil & gas.
A single guided flow connects the whole planning chain - from choosing an application to a finished, downloadable project report - so that product selection, calculation and documentation come from one consistent source.
The SolutionFinder asks application-specific questions one at a time. A step navigator records every choice and every value entered, so users can go back or save the project at any point. There is no need to know the final product in advance - the tool leads to it.
Practical advantages:
Complex or non-standard cases are routed directly to the Naue Engineering and Design Department (EDD).
Users choose the entry point that fits how they think about the task:
Beyond selection, the SolutionFinder performs and documents the design:
| For whom? | The benefits |
|---|---|
| For planners and design engineers | Norm-aligned design using EBGEO, DWA and BAW guidance and EN ISO test standards, with a traceable calculation basis. The Naue EDD provides project-specific design support and design liability for added planning certainty. |
| For contractors and site managers | Fast, reliable product selection with installation-relevant product data and tender-ready documents - reducing time spent sourcing information and reworking specifications. |
| For project owners and clients | Confidence in a compliant, fully documented solution from a single source - from application through calculation to specification - supporting faster, better-founded decisions. |
The Naue SolutionFinder is a guided online planning tool in the Naue Portal. It leads engineers, contractors and project owners through application-specific questions and delivers a recommended geosynthetic product, the underlying design and a ready-to-use project report. It is the fast route into detailed technical planning.
The SolutionFinder is free to use within the Naue Portal and requires a portal login. It is designed for design engineers, planners, contractors and project owners across all covered sectors.
The tool covers a wide range of construction sectors, including solutions for construction involving environmentally sensitive materials, erosion control, river embankments, retention basins, road and pathway construction, traffic areas and working platforms, as well as all relevant geotechnical functions.
Yes. Depending on the application it captures the governing parameters (for example tensile strength, permeability, service life or soil and traffic loading) and runs the relevant calculation - including the Naue Platform module for dimensioning access roads and working platforms. Complex or non-standard projects are referred to the Naue Engineering and Design Department.
Each completed path produces a personalised project report with your project name and company details, together with the recommended product, the design basis and matching tender texts that can be transferred directly into a bill of quantities.
If a project goes beyond standard design rules or requires an individual assessment, users can contact Naue’s Engineering & Design team directly via a contact form in the SolutionFinder to receive support with the design.
Designs follow recognised standards and guidance such as EBGEO, DWA and BAW, with products tested to the relevant EN ISO methods. Project-specific design by the Naue EDD ensures compliance with national requirements.
