Erosion Control for Landfills
Synthetex manufactures custom fabric-formed concrete systems that increase the longevity of geomembranes, downchutes, and leachate collection ponds in landfills.
Landfills have a sophisticated set of components that must be protected from erosion and damage to keep harmful leachates from seeping into the groundwater. HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete mats can protect collection ponds from erosion, provide a hard armor over geomembranes, and protect downchutes, enhancing the longevity of these elements.
HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete is the best solution for landfills because it is permanent, easy to install, and requires little maintenance after installation.
Why choose HYDROTEX for your landfill erosion control project?
Landfills are ecosystems whose components must be protected or the facility’s byproducts can contaminate the soil and the environment. HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete mattresses are a proven, permanent method for protecting liners and preventing erosion in collection ponds and channels. Both easy to install and cost-effective, HYDROTEX is entirely custom-made to your project’s needs.
The most urgent solutions HYDROTEX provides in landfills are geomembrane protection, downchute protection, collection channel lining, and ballast systems.
Looking for a mixture of these solutions? Need another solution for your landfill project? Our engineers will take a look at your project’s details and recommend the best solution for you. You will never have to guess with us at your side.
Products for Landfills
Why choose Synthetex?
Today’s landfills have evolved to become essential to comprehensive waste management. Modern sanitary landfills rely on sophisticated engineering to emphasize environmental stewardship throughout site selection, design, permitting, construction, operation and decommissioning.
Synthetex helps build modern landfills with integrated systems, technologies and processes that help ensure environmental protection. The specifications for a modern landfill include design features such as:
Protection of liners made of clay and plastic
Leachate collection and management systems
Drainage systems
Landfill covering options
Landfill covers, caps and liners
How do you install HYDROTEX at a landfill?
Depending on the part of the site that will be protected or armored, the installation process can vary, but the basics will remain the same. To install a HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete mattress, simply prepare the ground, lay out the geomembrane (if not already installed), then unroll the custom-fabricated geosynthetic panels over the liner. Using a small-line concrete pump, fill the fabric with fine aggregate concrete until the mattress reaches its designed thickness.
Why do you need EROSION CONTROL FOR INDUSTRIAL WASTE DETENTION PONDS?
Industrial waste is the unusable by-product of industrial activity in factories, mills, and mining operations.
Some examples include paper products, chemical solvents, paints, metals and radioactive waste.
Industrial wastewater treatment is used to contain and treat waters that have been contaminated by anthropogenic industrial or commercial activities prior to it being released into the environment or re-used. Industrial waste treatment often requires detention systems that include one or more basins, or ponds designed to receive, hold and treat wastewater for a predetermined length of time.
Synthetex’s HYDROTEX® fabric-formed concrete mattresses prevent erosion of the detention pond’s banks from wind-generated waves and the growth of long grass and weeds that block wind and provide breeding areas for flies, mosquitoes and other insects.
Municipal wastewater treatment plants can also extract similar benefits from using HYDROTEX to protect these vulnerable areas.
