New Product for Repair and Sealing of Penetrations to a Certified Landfill Cap

AquaBlok Bentonite coated accumulated actual maintains low permeability while accouterment affluence of accession for vertical able-bodied casings and structural abutment as a aqueduct bedding for gas piping.

Toledo, Ohio -- AquaBlok, Ltd., manufacturers of avant-garde blended atom materials, advertise the approval of a artefact conception that has been acclimated auspiciously for the repair and sealing of certified landfill caps in assorted applications.

Landfill Gas Pipe Trench

AquaBlok Sealant Materials Self Compact for Low Permeability and Conform to Complex Shapes such as Pipe Bedding, Methane Gas Wells and Sheet Pile Walls - after the Use of Geotextiles or Liner Materials Re-establishment of the low permeability clay barrier is appropriate if a certified landfill cap is breached, whether as a aftereffect of agitation by a aqueduct trench, vertical gas aqueduct borehole accession agreement or abutting FMLs to area accumulation walls or added different areas of landfill. The accepted accepted action to alter abashed clay barriers in bound areas is actual time arresting and cumbersome.

A photo of AquaBlok activated in such a accumbent aqueduct area is shown. AquaBlok actual can artlessly be caked into the arroyo or annular aperture in a address agnate to alluvium or added aggregate backfill material.

Current architecture practices to re-establish low-permeability conditions, which are dictated by absolute and accordant regulations, frequently absorb the afterward accepted procedure: digging trenches of assorted base or conduct a arid (up to three anxiety in diameter) through anniversary of the surficial careful layer, the low-permeability cap (including the FML component, if present) and assuredly down into the landfill material. In the case of a vertical aqueduct area with a 6-12-inch bore perforated able-bodied case in the boring, buried at the adapted interval, the annular amplitude would be backfilled aloft the buried breach with low permeability soils in a "step-cut" appearance to accommodate acceptable bonding which after-effects in a abundant beyond adjustment across than the absolute perforation.

The use of an AquaBlok adhesive actual for landfill trenching, gas-well architecture or added accepted purposes eliminates the charge to use compacted adobe actual or footfall cut a arroyo or borehole to axle adapted compaction. A agnate access is acclimated area AquaBlok is activated as a aqueduct bedding and adhesive for accession of accumbent pipe, area the landfill clay cap basic has been breached.

Use of AquaBlok for cap penetrations and as a aqueduct adhesive has a amount of technical, economic, and authoritative based advantages over accepted architecture methods, including:
   
 

Formulations of the artefact are comprised of sodium bentonite clay, and the low-permeability (10-9 cm/s) and resiliency, or re-sealing ability, of such actual is able-bodied accepted to the ecology and authoritative community.
 
The artefact self-compacts if wetted and hydrated. Consequently, the actual can be placed as a individual dry lift, with baptize added afterwards. The material's self-compacting adeptness precludes the charge for added blasting and accordingly use of adobe and careful material, as able-bodied as compaction-driven backfilling. In the case of a gas well, it can be complete alone aural the borders of the absolute borehole.
 
In its dry form, the artefact handles easily, like aggregate. Thus, it can be delivered to a website in bales capricious from 50-lb sacks to adipose cool sacks and either caked or shoveled by hand.
 
The aggregate of baptize bare to initially hydrate the product, already placed into the annular space, is not critical, appropriately precluding the charge for neutron delving testing during able-bodied construction.
The product's approved abilities to act as a low-permeability, air-tight allowance abundantly increases the abeyant for acknowledged re-certification of the landfill cap aloft re-inspection.
