Description
Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) are an innovative subset of geosynthetics, providing superior sealing solutions for a wide range of containment applications. Composed of a thin layer of bentonite clay sandwiched between two geotextiles or bonded to a geomembrane, GCLs offer exceptional impermeability and durability. The structural integrity of GCLs is enhanced through needle punching, stitching, or physical bonding, ensuring long-lasting performance. These versatile liners are commonly used in environmental containment projects such as landfills, ponds, and mining operations, either as a composite component beneath a geomembrane or as a standalone liner. GCLs provide reliable protection against leakage, making them an essential solution for challenging containment needs.
