The Basalton Quattroblock is designed for moderate waves. This innovative block is a combination of four basalton concrete columns placed next to each other. Vertically adjacent columns give revetments greater stability than other building methods and help protected coastal erosion.

Features and Benefits

Sustainability

  • Concrete contains no toxic substances and is environmentally neutral.
  • This is an environmentally friendly product which poses no danger to young birds.

Stability

  • Four concrete columns form one Basalton Quattroblock element. These elements are more stable and allow for faster positioning.
  • Basalton Quattroblock achieves the highest stability factor in coastal protection. fstab = 1.64

Low Column Height

The enhanced stability of the Basalton Quattroblock allows for a low column height. This reduces building time, emissions and overall cost.

Looks Matter

  • Changes in the dyke body are visible on the revetment surface.
  • After filling the gaps with grit the surface can be sown with grass seeds to create a natural green appearance.
