Filtermat™ Sediment Capping and Containment Webinar
HUESKER’s Roy McClinton and Robert Creel will lead a free engineering webinar on 8 December 2015. The topic: Capping contaminated sediments using FilterMat™. This composite geotextile provides a cost-effective alternative to dredging operations while isolating contaminated sediments. Additionally, the use of a geosynthetic capping system instead of dredging removes disposal costs, on-site treatment costs, and transport and treatment costs.
