## Challenge

A new compost processing facility at a landfill in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, needed its entire footprint lined for environmental reasons, primarily to prevent contaminants from seeping into the soil.

## Titan Solution![0BE1DC77-B0EA-41C3-8E41-893C0921F25F](https://casestudies.titanenviro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/0BE1DC77-B0EA-41C3-8E41-893C0921F25F.jpg?width=279&height=209&name=0BE1DC77-B0EA-41C3-8E41-893C0921F25F.jpg)

Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) was selected as the ideal solution for this project because of its unique bentonite self-sealing attributes and ability to reduce the risk of punctures and leakages.

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

## Achievement

Titan supplied and installed 287,900 SF (26,746 m²) of GCL. Despite the cold and short daylight hours, our crew of seven technicians rose to the challenge to complete another winter project!
