Tetrapods
Make the sustainable choice for your coastline with the future of coastal defence: our world-first carbon-neutral tetrapods.
An asset to the coastal defence industry for decades, tetrapods break up wave energy and prevent erosion along seawalls and breakwaters. They’re typically made from concrete, containing Portland cement; a material responsible for around 8% of CO2 emissions globally. But this carbon-neutral edition provides an environmentally friendly alternative to shield coastlines and communities as we push towards a greener future.
