Huesker launches Tektoseal sealing

Huesker’s Tektoseal is said to be a high-performance sealing for groundwater protection, contaminated site remediation and hydraulic engineering. Geosynthetic clay liners (GCL) have been successfully used for many years as a natural sealing option for groundwater protection, contaminated site remediation, landfill construction, hydraulic engineering and road construction applications.

235 Huesker’s Tektoseal is said to be a high-performance sealing for groundwater protection, contaminated site remediation and hydraulic engineering.

Geosynthetic clay liners (GCL) have been successfully used for many years as a natural sealing option for groundwater protection, contaminated site remediation, landfill construction, hydraulic engineering and road construction applications.

The continuing development of industrially manufactured bentonite sealing systems is said to have culminated in the new Tektoseal product. Building on Huesker's long and successful track record in sealing projects with NaBento (stitched bentonite composite), Tektoseal is a further intelligent composite liner, which is said to boast an improved internal angle of friction, increased shear strength and optimised outer friction properties.

It is a multi-component system made from a high-tensile base, internal sealing material consisting of granulated sodium bentonite and a robust nonwoven as the top layer. A special precision-needling technique, based on state-of-the-art engineering, is used to join together the three components to produce a homogeneous, structurally continuous liner sheet.

As a result of the special manufacturing techniques, Tektoseal is not only described as very economical, it is also environmentally friendly. The extremely thin construction (< 10 mm) is said to achieve at least the same sealing effect as conventional clay liners. Furthermore, it produces very little dust and ITS optimum roll width of over 5m makes it quick and easy to install.

    Demolition is a highly specialised business, as the machinery required to carry out the work on high-rise demolition contracts can be very site specific. Today's high reach demolition rig is no longer simply a tracked excavator with a long boom, indeed some machines cannot be used as excavators at all. Likewise a machine that is dedicated to carrying a 2.5 or 3tonne shear or hammer will need to be built to take the stresses and strains of demolition life. Many of the ultra long boom machines are designed

Mike Woof reports The recent increases in oil costs are having a knock-on effect for the road construction sector, as asphalt prices have increased noticeably and faster than those for concrete. This has spurred renewed discussion over which construction technique now offers the best long term solution for road building. The debate between those in favour of concrete and those preferring asphalt for highway construction has been on

The market for mobile crushing and screening solutions has grown enormously in recent years. With the first track-mounted mobile units having appeared in the 1980s and pioneered by a small number of manufacturers, the range and variety of units on the market has grown enormously since.
