The Full Story
About Kontain
Kontain Pty Ltd combines practical geosynthetics expertise with engineering-led project support across containment, dewatering, and environmental applications.
Founded by the team behind GeoKonect, the industry’s leading free technical geosynthetics newsletter and knowledge platform, Kontain was created to provide independent technical clarity and real-world support for complex projects where performance matters.
Led by Ben Lewis, Kontain specialises in geotextile dewatering container systems (geobags) and geosynthetics more broadly, supporting projects across mining, waste, water, and industrial sectors throughout Australia and internationally.
Our focus is simple: help clients make better technical decisions by combining practical field experience with sound engineering advice, product selection, and long-term performance thinking.
We supply premium geobags selected specifically for site conditions, waste characteristics, and operational requirements, while also providing support across broader geosynthetic applications including feasibility assessment, system design support, construction support, forensic review, and independent third-party testing.
Kontain is more than a supplier—we are a technical partner focused on durability, practicality, and performance, supporting projects from early concept through to construction and long-term operation.
Mission
Our mission is to drive successful geobag and containment projects by combining practical engineering expertise with independent testing, forensic analysis, and proven geosynthetic solutions. We provide hands-on technical support across design, dewatering performance, stacking stability, failure investigation, and long-term asset reliability—helping contractors, asset owners, and engineers reduce risk, improve performance, and deliver projects with confidence.
Vision
We aim to lead the geobag and containment sector by delivering practical, innovative solutions backed by expert testing, forensic analysis, and real-world project experience. By improving how dewatering systems are designed, stacked, operated, and maintained, we help reduce environmental risk, extend asset life, and improve project outcomes. Through strong technical partnerships and continuous innovation, we strive to redefine how geobag projects are planned, executed, and trusted for the long term.
