Geosynthetic clay liner, or bentonite liner, for steeper slopes, higher-loads, and superior sheer force
Geosynthetic clay liners or GCLs are constructed of two geotextiles encapsulating a layer of low-permeability sodium bentonite. As a result, they create an impermeable geosynthetic clay liner. Ferguson Waterworks offers a comprehensive inventory of geosynthetic products such as Solmax BENTOLINER NS and EC series.
What are the key benefits of geosynthetic clay liner products?

- Hydraulic performance similar to 3ft of compacted clay
- Improved stability, creep resistance, and sheer strength
