Titan supplied and installed a multi-layer cover system which consisted of geosynthetic clay liner, 60mil HDPE DST, 16oz nonwoven geotextile cushion and a 12oz nonwoven geotextile cover. There were also five pipe penetrations along the cell slopes where we installed pipe boots.

Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) are advanced geocomposites made from geotextile layers enclosing sodium bentonite, offering a modern alternative to traditional compacted clay liners.

The unique shape of this landfill and limited access posed some challenges for the installation crews and contractor but were easily overcome through efficient team work. The customer was very pleased with Titan’s quality of work our focus on service and our ability to supply the product quickly.
