  • What are geosynthetic clay liner used for?

    Function.
    The engineering function of a GCL is containment as a hydraulic barrier to water, leachate or other liquids and sometimes gases.
    As such, they are used as replacements for either compacted clay liners or geomembranes, or they are used in a composite manner to augment the more traditional liner materials.

  • What is GCL instead of clay?

    Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCL) are high-performance geocomposites that are used as an alternative to conventional compacted clay liners.
    GCLs consist of two layers of geotextile stitched together enclosing a layer of processed sodium bentonite.

  • What is a geosynthetic clay liner?

    Geosynthetic Clay Liner is a kind of geosynthetic material used for anti-seepage of artificial lake waterscape, landfill, underground garage, roof garden, pool, oil depot, and chemical storage yard.
    The sodium-based bentonite is filled between the special composite geotextile and non-woven fabric.

  • What is a geosynthetic clay liner?

    Geo-synthetic clay liner must be properly designed in a manner consistent with anticipated field condition, Mechanical and hydraulic forces various criteria like hydraulic conductivity , chemical stability and strength parameters must be consider for designing the geosynthetic clay liners .
