Geotube Shoreline Protection Techniques
The shoreline is an imaginary line that forms the boundary between the sea and the land, and it can shift with the tides. The shoreline can also change, either temporarily or permanently over a certain period, due to erosion (recession) and accretion. This is where geotube shoreline protection comes in. The shoreline can be described […]
How a GCL (Geosynthetic Clay Liner) Works
A GCL (geosynthetic clay liner) is key to many containment projects. It is a material in which bentonite or another clay is bonded between two woven or non-woven geotextiles to slow seepage. Its main uses are in landfills and liquid containment projects. Bentonite is an absorbent aluminum phyllosilicate clay that helps create a low-permeability barrier, […]
Geocell Panel Connection Methods: 4 Ways to Join
Geocell panel connection, or interlocking, is essential for joining geocell panels together so that the length or width matches the requirements in the design drawings / shop drawings. There are several methods for joining geocell, including: There are several methods for joining geocell, including: Keylock (geocell connector) The keylock is specially designed to connect geocell […]
Non-Woven Geotextile for Steel Pipe Protection
Steel transmission pipelines installed in mountainous areas often face significant risks during construction and throughout their service life. One of the biggest challenges is geotextile pipe protection: shielding the pipe and its outer coating from scratches, impacts and other mechanical damage. Today, the pipeline industry uses various additional mechanical protection systems, including non-woven geotextile made […]
How to Choose Geosynthetics for Biogas Containment
Biogas from waste stabilization ponds, typically used to treat wastewater from livestock farms and industry, is a smart, sustainable and environmentally responsible choice. A key component of these systems is the geosynthetics for biogas sealing. Why is HDPE geomembrane the right choice? The value of capturing biogas is becoming clearer as the energy crisis and […]
Geomembrane Heat Resistance at Extreme Temperatures
Prolonged exposure to very high temperatures can weaken a liner quickly. Geomembrane heat resistance matters here: special high-temperature liners can help overcome this problem. Typically, high temperatures over a long period cause a liner to weaken quickly; exposure above 140°F (60°C) can damage the liner.
