Field Applications
The Waterloo Barrier® is a versatile containment
wall. Applications include:
Environmental
Deep, enclosing barriers
around hazardous waste sites or municipal landfills to confine containment
plumes and/or landfill gases
Shallow,
enclosing barriers to contain petroleum products or other light
contaminants which float on the water table
Enclosures
to control future groundwater contamination at new industrial or waste
disposal sites
Temporary,
enclosing barriers to facilitate removal or in-situ remediation of
contaminants
Barriers along shorelines
to prevent seepage of contaminated groundwater into waterways
Funnelling
or directing contaminant plumes to enhance the efficiency of
pump-and-treat techniques
Structural wall for
excavation of contaminated soils
Pilot scale
remediation testing in contaminated aquifers under confined conditions
Non-Environmental
Groundwater control in
construction projects involving excavating and tunnelling
Isolation
of accidental spills
