A South African company, Aqua Plastech aims to tackle inefficient water loss and preserve the environment through its innovative and unique product offering.

The world is thirsty and water scarcity has become more of a reality for people across the globe. Global warming places a threat for increased loss of water through evaporation, drought and natural disaster, ultimately putting water, food and energy production at risk. 

With climate change disrupting the water cycle; all individuals and industries, specifically the agricultural, energy, mining and infrastructure industries will need to implement water saving solutions and sustainable practise to improve the management of their water supply networks.

Director of Aqua Plastech, Andre Fourie, recognised the immense water loss experienced in leaking dams. After research, trying multiple products and spending a fortune on repairs, he quickly realised how much water loss and environmental damage a leaking dam or pond can cause.

“It was through my own experience that I realised there has to be a better way to seal leaks and cracks. After losing a fair amount of water and attempting to repair a leak with various products, I found the whole process to be costly, inefficient, time consuming and harmful to the eco-system.” says Fourie.

Water loss in earth dams and ponds is mainly caused by cracks and leaks that traditionally require expensive repairs and full drainage. Aqua Plastech was developed to bring cost effective, time-saving, eco-friendly and water preserving alternatives to dam and pond maintenance. 

Aqua Plastech offers high-tech sealant innovations that are set to change the way cracks and leaks are resolved:

The one is a high-tech polymer, Aqua Plastech Dam & Pond Sealer. It is a bio friendly solution that encourages water use efficiency by simply applying it to the surface of the water. The solution reacts instantly once in the water, expanding and sinking into cracks and leaks, requiring little waiting time with no extra loss of precious water and no wasteful dumping of existing water.
