Both ELCO Solutions and Kaytech Engineered Fabrics offer a full range of technical support services to engineers at the design stage as well as to the asset-owners and construction community during tender bidding, prior to and during project construction.  We are also able to partner in design/supply for Design Build Contracts and offer alternative solutions at tender and construction stages.

We have vast experience in offering solutions for –

  • Lining systems along the base, side-slopes or capping layers 
  • Leachate collection 
  • Drainage systems (including appropriate use of geonets) 
  • Protection geotextiles 
  • Soil reinforcement solutions

Our services include –

  • Design assistance and technical advice 
  • Technical literature and case studies 
  • Experience and R&D programs 
  • Specifications & CAD drawings 
  • Site installation training 
  • Quality Assurance procedures 
  • Specifications for manufacturing QA as well as construction QA 
  • Testing the compatability of the waste with the GCL to ensure maximum performance

Extreme conditions require a deeper understanding of the system performance.  Such conditions include –

  • Extreme pH (ie high or low pH environments)
  • Saline groundwater or soil
  • Petro-chemical material or hydro-carbon storages
  • Specialist liquor or tailings from mineral processing or mining
  • Very high head from use in deep water storages

Our R&D and laboratory activities support our understanding of how geosynthetic clay liners (GCL’s) perform in extreme conditions. 

We invite you to contact us for specific technical support in any of the above areas.
