AGRU America, Inc. Plans to Expand its Current Lyon County Geomembrane Manufacturing Plant by 102,000 Square Feet
The company’s Fernley facility produced premium geomembrane liners. It was approved for $1,383,440 in tax abatements. It is projected to create 17 jobs in the first two years of operation at an average weighted hourly wage of $28.62. It is expected to grow to 20 jobs in five years. This company will make $20,872,500 in capital equipment investment in the first two years of operation and generate $6,608,894 in new tax revenues over the 10-year abatement period.

Smart Monitoring Solutions Offered for HDPE Lined Tailings Dams
By placing temperature- and/or strain-sensing DFOS cables below the HDPE liner on a lined TSF, it is possible to determine whether the liner has a leak, which is indicated by a change in temperature and/or strain caused by increasing moisture below the liner.
