Claymat GCL

The Claymat Geosynthetic Clay Liner's composite structure offers a thin, flexible and clean geosynthetic lining system that is easily transported and installed.

Claymat GCLs (Geosynthetic Clay Liners) are used to provide a liquid and/or gas barrier in a wide range of environmental and civil engineering applications where containment barriers are required, including landfill lining and capping, reservoirs & canals, ornamental ponds, highway balancing reservoirs and retention ponds

Applications

Landfill lining and capping
Reservoirs
Canals
SuDS Swales
Ornamental ponds
Attenuation ponds
Fuel spillage containment
Waterproofing structures
Highway and Rail balancing ponds

Benefits

Self seaming (no specialist installation required)
Self healing if punctured
Saves landfill volume compared to compacted clay liners
Compatible with HDPE secondary liners
Not affected by differential settlement
Not affected by freeze/thaw, wet/dry cycles.
Excellent resistance to fertilisers, fuel oils, chemicals, etc

Claymat GCLs (Geosynthetic Clay Liners) have many applications in landfill lining and capping, reservoirs, canals, ornamental ponds, highway balancing reservoirs and retention ponds. ABG Claymat GCLs can also be used in the environmental lining of roads and projects in contaminated land, fuel spillage containment, cut off trenches and waterproofing.

Sodium bentonite has long been recognised as the ideal impermeable barrier material. Claymat GCL provides the barrier properties of bentonite in a convenient sandwich between two layers of geotextile needle punched together.

The Claymat Geosynthetic Clay Liner's upper cover is a white non-woven polypropylene textile and the lower carrier textile is a woven polypropylene. The result is a GCL that is thin, flexible clean and is easily transported and installed.
