Ltd in July 2022.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Maccaferri supplied a total of 2,250m2 of Macline GCL W20 to the project site and this was installed by AFS in August 2022.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Macline GCL W20 is a reinforced geosynthetic clay liner specifically designed for use in landfill and pond lining applications.&nbsp;It consists of a layer of natural granular bentonite sandwiched between a woven and non-woven geotextile.&nbsp;When hydrated, the bentonite forms a thin clay layer to maintain very low permeability without the need to import large quantities of puddle clay and therefore offers a much more sustainable solution with a greatly reduced carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Concrete headwalls can easily be accommodated by applying layers of Macline GCL W20 around the headwall and sealing with bentonite granules also provided with the liner.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Macline GCL W20 is self-sealing in the event of a puncture and has excellent slope stability and climatic resistance together with a high chemical resistance making it suitable for use in a wide range of ground conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n
