  • BASALTON

    Basalton is made of concrete columns that provide stability and increase the integrity of foundations and is one of the world’s best-selling revetment stones. The Basalton concrete columns are a high-quality replacement for the traditional basalt columns. They protect dikes and coastlines against erosion from strong currents and wave activity. Basalton is used in road construction as well and can be applied vertically for decorative purposes.

  • BETOMAT

    Betomat is a flexible concrete block mattress. In general, the concrete block mats are used to protect banks and embankments against erosion from currents and / or waves. The mats can be installed both above and below water and give the construction stability. They can also be used offshore to protect pipes and cables lying on the seabed.

  • BETOWALL

    Our products can also be used for aesthetic purposes by creating decorative vandal-proof wall
    elements. Individual Basalton columns can be used for a solid decorative finish in gardens and around
    buildings. In addition, the prefab Basalton wall gives a nice finish along quays and can refresh any canal, marina or river wall. With our new Betowall product range, we can offer standard concrete wall elements with prints, bricks, eco layering and even lighting.

  • ARMOUR STONE

    Armour stone is natural quarry stone, chosen for its durability and resistance to wear and erosion. Our armour stone is quarried by drilling and blasting in our quarries all over the world. We are able to provide different materials and sizes as riprap for shore protection and breakwaters. And we provide the aggregates and sand as raw materials for concrete. We also specialise in recycling construction and demolition waste to make high-quality aggregates, reducing the need for quarrying.

11 Aug 2022 Basalton Quattroblock, shore protection proofs to be even more efficient

The stability of Holcim’s Basalton Quattroblocks proved to be so high during the tests conducted in Delft in 2017 that they could not be loaded to their maximum capacity. In January 2022, new tests were conducted to determine the maximum stability of the Basalton Quattroblock, a slope protection element.
