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.

    Advances in asphalt plant technology will boost efficiency for producers, while increasing the percentage of recycled materials that can be used in the mix - Mike Woof writes. Asphalt plant technology continues to advance as the rival firms fine-tune their technologies for greater performance. New plants can give higher quality output due to new control technologies, while also allowing for recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) to be used more efficiently, while still ensuring tight mix specifications are met.

    Airport runway, taxiway and parking areas make high demands on paving requirements, both with concrete and asphalt techniques. Mike Woof reports. High quality surface finishes are required in airport environments for runways, taxiways and aircraft parking areas. Because of the speed at which aircraft take off and land and the massive forces exerted due to the weight of the aircraft, particularly during landing, runway structures need to be incredibly strong. The surfaces also have to be constructed to very
