Leak Proof Your Pond with Cutting Edge GCL Pond Liners—Seal Your Pond Naturally!

Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCL) are high-performance geo-composites that are an alternative to conventional compacted clay liners. GCLs consist of two layers of geotextile stitched together to enclose a layer of processed sodium bentonite. 

 

Bentonite is a natural sealant. When in contact with water, it swells to form a low-permeability clay liner. Geosynthetic clay liners resist physical and chemical breakdown in harsh environments such as landfills and other containment systems.

Underwater Installation of GCL Clay Liners for Maximum Pond Protection

The ongoing operation of the barrage could not be obstructed during construction, and particular emphasis was placed on not adversely affecting the environment. Thus, the Bavarian Power Authority (BEW) opted for the underwater installation of a geosynthetic clay liner sealing system. DOBLER was commissioned for the construction work. The GCL was provided by the manufacturer NAUE GmbH & Co. KG.

 

Bentofix® BZ 13-B is specially designed for underwater installation. Bentofix® BZ 13-B is a needle-punched, scrim-reinforced geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) with an additional top-side sand ballast layer. The encapsulated sodium bentonite swells in contact with water to provide an exceptional seal. The integrated sand ballast core also ensures the GCL’s “self-sinking.” This weight ensures secure, stable positioning of GCL panels, as well as enhances protection against other installation activities. The advantages of Betofix® BZ 13-B:

  • Highly efficient, effective sealing
  • Weighted for self-sinking.
  • Stable positioning
  • Self-sealing overlaps
  • Easy installation, including underwater.
  • Quick, easy, and cost-effective installation

Past Projects & Performance: Environmentally Safe Pond Sealing with GCL Liners

  1. We have installed this product for Greg Norman’s property here in Naples to retain water in his golf course community. This was a successful project, and with our dive teams, we retained the entire pond without dewatering. This involved jackhammering rock and cutting trees to make the pond level for the GCL linear.
  2. Heron Creek Irrigation Pond—The Current Pond liner was compromised, and we used GCL to seal the bank to 15 feet underwater, repair and seal the compromised HDPE linear, and install a 6ft Sox product for bank restoration and engineered stabilization with a shoring system.

 

International Subsea Services will warranty this project for 10 years by installing 6ft Dredge Sox locking in the GCL mats to the embankments. We are ordering additional fill material to fill in all repairs and ensure the pond is sealed.
