Cardno preparing design and documentation of five ponds for the Northern Water Treatment Plant (NWTP) of the QCLNG Upstream Project.

Layfield supplied and installed an engineered evaporation control floating cover for Pioneer Resources in Texas.  This is applicable to the Australian market since Australia also has an arid climate. The project is about a floating cover for a fresh water pond used in hydraulic fracturing operations.
