 1. RainTank & Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) used for Underground Storage!
 Combination Provides Protection in Sinkhole Prone Area!

RT-GCL cover Faced with the challenge of storing stormwater run off at a site that is subject to sinkholes, a geosynthetic clay liner was incorporated to encapuslate and seal the RainTank modular storage system. This case study provides an overview of the implementation of this application.

 2. Cetco Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) Utilized for Sinkhole Remediation!
 Stormwater Basin Retrofit Utilizes Self Healing Clay Liner!

GCL retro-fit cover When a series of adjacent Pennsylvania stormwater basins developed sinkholes, they were retrofitted into one large basin and lined with a Cetco GCL to prevent further sinkhole problems. Easy to install and self healing, GCLs provide an alternative to plastic liners or compacted clay.
