GEOSYNTHETIC CLAY LINERS (GCL)

GAST GCL’s are a composite between a Geotextile and Bentonite to replace expensive thick layers of compacted clay.

Not only is this much more cost effective but also provides superior performance characteristics in comparison to natural compacted clay, making GAST GCL’s a versatile hydraulic barrier with self healing properties due to the bentonite.

 

WHY USE CLAY WHEN YOU HAVE GAST GCL

Geotextiles
