Geocomposite clay liner, also known as Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL), is often made with two layers of geosynthetics such as geomembrane or geotexitle stitched together surrounding a layered natural or processed sodium bentonite. We are supplying a wide range of GCLs for a variety of environmental containment applications as an alternative to traditional compacted clay liners to satisfy your exact project requirements. Our high quality geocomposite clay liners have the characteristics of self-sealing, easy installation, better hydraulic performance and resistance to varying weather conditions. We are is not only manufacturing best quality geosynthetics products but also providing professional design and installation service. OEM, ODM, custom development and fabrication are also available.
Why Chose Geocomposite Clay Liner Peru for Waste Landfill Project
Landfill Construction and Environmental Considerations
Landfills are critical components of waste management, requiring stringent compliance with government and environmental guidelines. Design and operational considerations include erosion, sedimentation, storm water, and leachate management. Geosynthetics, particularly Geocomposite clay liners (GCLs), are essential in landfill construction.
Partnership and Product Specifications
Our partner, CHINA COMMUNICATIONS CONSTRUCTION (CCCC) Company Limited, requires Geosynthetic clay liners measuring 5*40m, with a specification of 4800gsm and tensile strength ≥8KN/m, totaling 10,000 square meters to ASTM standards. CCCC was impressed by our 16,000 square meter factory and advanced production line. Before signing the agreement, they requested product brochures, ISO and SIRIM certificates, test certificates, project references, and a material safety data sheet, all of which GEOSINCERE can provide.
Case Study Of Geocomposite Clay Liner
The Role of Geocomposite Clay Liners in MSW Landfills
Massive industrialization and urbanization in Peru generate vast waste, necessitating effective management. GCLs offer powerful solutions for MSW landfills, recognized as the most suitable barriers for solid waste management. Their primary purpose is to ensure zero environmental pollution by preventing harmful liquids from seeping into groundwater and toxic gases from escaping into the atmosphere.
Benefits and Composition of Geocomposite Clay Liners
GCLs serve as hydraulic barriers with filtering, separating, reinforcing, draining, and stabilizing properties. They are cost-effective alternatives to traditional compacted clay liners, consisting of two geotextile layers surrounding a sodium bentonite layer, which swells upon contact with water.
GCLs are ideal for landfills due to their long-lasting chemical resistance, physical robustness, and super-efficient containment. Lower permeability and conductivity enhance their efficiency, minimizing seepage. Self-sealing properties reduce puncture risks, and excellent shear resistance adds to their reliability.The ease of installation and cost-effectiveness of GCLs make them a preferred choice for engineers. Their ability to withstand harsh environments ensures long-term performance, making GCLs a natural fit for landfill projects.
Geocomposite Clay Liners Features
Geocomposite Clay Liners (GCLs) are high-performance needle-punched composites combining durable geotextile outer layers with a uniform core of natural sodium bentonite clay. They can also integrate HDPE liners for enhanced waterproofing. GCLs are widely used in waste landfill capping, pollution containment walls, mining base seals, canal and dam liners, lakes, and other waterproofing projects.
Developed in 1986, GCL technology is approved for municipal solid waste landfill barrier systems. Federal and some state regulations set design criteria, but alternative technologies meeting federal performance standards are permissible. GCLs offer unique advantages over traditional underlayments and covers.
Geocomposite GCL Liners Appliations
Within the context of landfill engineering, here are some of the typical GCL applications:
- Base liners in landfills
- Surface liners
- Gaseous seals or caps
- Secondary containment
- Tailings containment
- Waterproofing
- Groundwater protection
- Vertical barriers
The GCL is a robust, versatile product that meets the safety standards required for landfills. GCL not only reduces construction time and cost, but is also environmentally friendly.
