Contaminant containment for the long term from Huesker

Huesker says that its new Tektoseal Active product family offers safe long-term containment of contaminants. Relocating contaminated soils can be unfeasible or undesirable so preventing contaminant migration to unpolluted areas requires solutions that are readily adaptable to specific site conditions. The firm now offers three new products – Tektoseal Active AS, AC and CP – for contaminated site remediation, groundwater protection and oil absorption.

235 Huesker says that its new Tektoseal Active product family offers safe long-term containment of contaminants. Relocating contaminated soils can be unfeasible or undesirable so preventing contaminant migration to unpolluted areas requires solutions that are readily adaptable to specific site conditions. The firm now offers three new products – Tektoseal Active AS, AC and CP – for contaminated site remediation, groundwater protection and oil absorption. Active Geo- Composites comprise three permanently bonded layers. Sandwiched between the two outer woven or nonwoven geotextile layers is the key component: the active layer.

Tektoseal Active AS forms a strong barrier against petrochemical products. Securely bonded components mean that Tektoseal Active AS is well-protected against wind and water and typical applications include docksides, airports, temporary fuel stations, parking areas and crash sites.

    Soft engineering techniques, used to prevent soil erosion and stabilise steep cuts and embankments, have allowed engineers to successfully widen the M1 motorway in the UK. Over the 50km length of the work (25km northbound, 25km southbound) on a busy section of the motorway near the city of Nottingham, a total of 48km of slopes had to be modified, split roughly between cutting and embankment. The UK Highways Agency requirements for the work meant that wholesale widening of the corridor was not possible: the
