Comparisons

Technology-side side-by-side comparisons across the AWTT-patented hexagonal floating cover platform and its alternatives. For EU procurement-side comparisons (lead time, country availability, regulatory fit), see eurocovers.eu/vs.

• Hexagonal floating cover vs continuous geomembrane

  The AWTT-patented modular hexagonal floating cover (Hexprotect® AQUA — 99% coverage, 130+ MPH wind, anchorless, AWTT-published) is the default for surface-management; a continuous geomembrane is the right call when gas capture or full containment is the driver.

• Hexagonal floating cover vs generic copies

  The AWTT-patented hexagonal floating cover (Hexprotect® AQUA — 99% coverage, 130+ MPH wind, 25+ year life, AWTT-published, peer-reviewed) and generic copies share the visible shape, not the patented engineering, certified envelope, or peer-reviewed validation.

• Hexagonal modular vs Armor Ball AQUA — geometry fit

  The AWTT-patented hexagonal floating cover (Hexprotect® AQUA, 99% coverage AWTT-published) is the default for reservoirs over 1,000 m²; Armor Ball AQUA — AWTT's spherical line — fits water bodies under 500 m² or with highly irregular geometry.

• Hexprotect® AQUA vs Hexofloat® — engineering

  Hexprotect® AQUA is AWTT's pre-ballasted 220 mm workhorse — 99% surface coverage, 130+ MPH wind, 25+ year life (AWTT-published). Hexofloat® is EuroCover's 190 mm AWTT design-approved variant — same patented working principle, ~30% lighter shell, 75 MPH wind, 15-year life (EuroCover-published).
