WHAT
Draintube Conductive

WHY
Draintube Conductive is a multilinear drainage geocomposite used in double-lined ponds with a leakage collection layer. This solution incorporates the electric conductivity required for electrical leak location (ELL) methods into a drainage geocomposite used as a leak detection drainage layer between the two liners. Draintube Conductive offers filtration, drainage, mechanical protection and electric conductivity functions in a single product and a single installation. Unlike other solutions, Draintube Conductive is compatible with all ELL methods (arc test, water puddle, dipole, etc.). This point is critical, as an ELL survey may require the use of several methods on the same structure. It also ensures that future ELL surveys can be done even during pond operations if any unanticipated event occurs.

WHAT
CleanSeam

WHY
For geomembrane installers who are constantly spending time cleaning and preparing the liner prior to field welds, AGRU CleanSeam is a new geomembrane product configuration that provides a simple, fast way to prepare the weld area. Unlike existing methods that rely on time-consuming manual inspections and cleaning, AGRU CleanSeam protective strip is removed directly before welding occurs and leaves behind no residue—only clean, weld-ready geomembrane. AGRU CleanSeam can be directly integrated into all AGRU geomembrane liners to provide significant time and cost savings during the weld phase of geomembrane installation by mitigating the risk of particle buildup. The protective release film protects the geomembrane weld edges from exposure to field conditions, greatly reducing the potential for fine soils, waste materials and stockpile dust from coming into contact with seaming areas during or prior to installation.

WHAT
EcoLine-HaTelit C

WHY
HUESKER launches the world’s first geogrid made from 100% recycled polyester (PET). With the introduction of the new ecoLine, the company is focusing on even more environmentally friendly solutions that already conserve natural resources during production and offer the same quality as their conventional counterparts. The launch starts with the HaTelit C asphalt reinforcement grid, which has been established on the market for more than 40 years and is used for the rehabilitation of asphalt pavements. Different from the classic HaTelit reinforcement grids, which consist of conventionally produced PET, the ecoLine replaces 100% of the PET yarns with recycled yarns. The recycled material is produced from disposed PET bottles, which can be fed back into the production cycle in the form of granulate. The used recycled PET is an equivalent substitute for the original PET yarn. It has the same high quality and the same properties.

WHAT
SILTRON

WHY
HUESKER & MKB Co. LLC, together, have developed a new class of silt fence around the geotextile SILTRON®. SILTRON is the new perimeter fencing geotextile designed to ensure the highest level of environmental protection on a construction site. Its strong, three-layer composite resists punctures and tears with no wire backing required, while trapping viscous pollutants. SILTRON is available in four different heights as pre-staked bundles. Independent testing of SILTRON shows industry-leading performance in hydraulic flow under sediment load, sediment retention and blinding resistance. SILTRON functions as a dynamic filter-ponder, which allows it to adjust to changing stormwater intensity across the entire face of the composite geotextile. Other fencing products either blind too fast (leading to physical failure) or allow too much sediment through. Even under extreme water and sediment load, SILTRON keeps seeping.
