About Us
Mission
Construct, in the dry and underwater, waterproofing protection systems on all types of hydraulic, civil, underground and environment protection structures, using synthetic watertight geomembranes.
Who We Are
Carpi, established in 1963 has celebrated 50 years in business and is the oldest company in the world dealing with synthetic geomembranes for hydraulic structures. Carpi has the longest and largest record in the world for geomembranes installations in hydraulic structures, with geomembrane systems on 135+ large dams, 50+ canals and hydraulic tunnels, 30+ reservoirs. Carpi holds all world records for installation of geomembrane systems on high dams: Bovilla rockfill dam, 91 m, highest rockfill dam with a geomembrane as only waterproofing element, Miel I RCC dam, 188 m, Alpe Gera concrete gravity dam, 174 m, Lost Creek arch dam, first underwater installation of a geomembrane system on a dam.
Carpi geomembrane and geomembrane systems have been validated among others by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Hydro Québec, and ICOLD, the International Commission on Large Dams.
