Revolutionizing Containment Applications: Geosynthetics are Amazingly Good, But Not Magical
Geotextiles and geomembranes have been around for more than 40 years and geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) for more than 25 years. During that time, they have revolutionized the containment of fluids. Their...
Finding a Better Cover
An ongoing field test at Sandia National Laboratories, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, compares a basic soil and a compacted clay landfill cover currently prescribed by Environmental Protection...
Experimentally Determined Freeze-Thaw Effects on the Hydraulic Conductivity of Geosynthetic Clay Liners
Alternative Landfill Covers Pass the Test
Researchers at the Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M., are conducting a large-scale field demonstration comparing final landfill cover designs in arid and semi-arid regions....
Putting On Your Safety Cap
Geomembranes are an important part of landfill cap design. However not all geomembrane liners are created equal, and it's best to know what a liner is made of before specifying...
