Situated close to the River Forth, the Black Devon landfill site restoration works has overcome the problem of precipitation percolation with the use of Bentofix BFG 5000 from Naue Geosynthetics. Ease of installation was a key reason for its specification, with up to 30,000m? of the material laid per week, allowing the project to be completed ahead of schedule. Bentofix BFG 5000 was laid using a spreader bar, excavator and two labourers. The weight of the material - 300g/m? - and the non-woven needle- punched geotextile on the topside of the product provided the puncture resistance necessary to cope with the cover materials used on the site. Suitable for use as a sealing barrier against liquids and gases in a variety of applications, Bentofix measures some 10mm thick. Its liners are typically made from polypropylene resin making them resistant to a range of chemicals such as diesel, fuel, oil and benzene.
