Vistula Spit, making waves by breaking waves

An innovative technology to build breakwaters

10,000 blocks

Under a beautiful layer of snow in January, yet still recognisable: the striking shape of the no fewer than 100 first XblocPlus blocks. There will be 10,000 blocks in total, or 21,000 m³ of unreinforced concrete. The concrete blocks will reinforce the structure of the eastern and western breakwaters, which are 900m and 300m long respectively.

This improved version of the globally used XBloc is making its international debut in Poland. Why? The advantages make a strong case.

Better and stronger

Faster and safer

More sustainable
