Eurobent - Model CS -Construction Waterproofing GeoSynthetic Clay Liner (GCL)
In comparison to traditional concrete mats, Eurobent GCL CS has an additional layer of membrane: HDPE, LLDPE or PVC. It is dedicated mainly to a construction waterproofing market.
This solution creates one durable barrier that offers double sealing. In case of any perforation in the membrane, bentonite serves as a secondary sealing barrier. Moreover, thanks to self-healing properties of bentonite, GCL CS can seal the perforation and stop the leakage.
The reasons that you should choose the EUROBENT CS solution:
- Even greater strength and safety,
- The self-sealing property of the bentonite layer is the distinguishing feature of Eurobent GCL CS from other bentonite mats,
- Thanks to this, the integrity of the product is not affected, even in the event of damage,
- The swelling property of bentonite is the proper performance guarantee in case of damage to the membrane, which is the basic sealing layer of the CS product,
- The outer layers consisting of the highest quality geosynthetic guarantees safety and high resistance to damage.
The technically designed needling process guarantees greater internal and external strength of the mat and extends the range of possible applications of bentonite mats. An innovation in the production process of Eurobent GCL CS is the gluing stage. The membrane thickness can have a range of 0.2 mm - 2.5 mm.
The greater strength of Eurobent GCL CS mats makes it possible to use them for very demanding applications, including:
- Flat roofs
- Concrete piles and sheet piling
- Foundation and other subsurface structure
- Cut-and-cover tunnel construction
- Tunnel (inner lining)
