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.

    Special reinforcements can extend the life of an old or new road, and also offer environmental benefits. Patrick Smith reports. Asphalt reinforcement can extend the service life of a resurfaced road by a factor of 3-4, says Huesker, developers of the HaTelit range of asphalt reinforcement. Aimed at preventing the propagation of reflective cracking from an old asphalt layer through a new surface course, Huesker claims the formation of reflective cracking is considerably delayed or even completely prevented u
