Custom Geotextile Tubes for Water Containment

Contain and remove leachate water to flow into an area of the new landfill cell.

Titan Solution

Titan was hired to construct a new landfill cell at Beaver Municipal Landfill as part of a planned expansion project. During construction, the area experienced heavy rainfall that washed out containment berms in the existing cell, causing leachate water to flow into the area where Titan was working.

Faced with the urgent need for a solution, Beaver Municipal Landfill turned to Titan for support. Responding quickly, Titan provided custom-made geotextile water storage bags as a fast and cost-effective method for containing the leachate. These on-site fabricated bags ranged from 50′ to 120′ in length and 6′ to 9′ in height, with individual capacities of approximately 27,000 to 60,000 gallons.

The bags successfully stored a total of 450,000 gallons of leachate water, which was later treated and discharged into a designated storage pond outside the landfill cell. The landfill retained the bags for potential reuse in future applications.

Geotextile tubes—also known as geocontainers, geobags, or desludging bags—are made from durable polypropylene fabric resistant to UV, biological, and chemical degradation, making them ideal for environmental remediation, wastewater lagoon, and sludge management projects.

Achievement

We were asked to provide a quick solution to the unforeseen problem and were able to respond immediately. This proved valuable to the client, as it prevented a shutdown of their operations and allowed us to continue work on the new cell with minimal delays.
