TenCate Completes Latest Expansion in Nonwoven Geotextile Production
- At the company’s Jefferson, Georgia facility, TenCate has installed a state-of-the-art high-quality nonwovens line. The investment includes advanced fiber distribution capabilities to create a uniquely consistent product in appearance and finished roll dimension. It also uses the largest card/cross lapper in the staple fiber geosynthetics industry for the production of both polypropylene and polyester geotextiles.
- “We are excited to announce this production expansion is now operational,” said John Henderson, P.E., President of TenCate Geosynthetics Americas. “This investment represents another important milestone in TenCate’s strategy and future.”
- TenCate’s team recognized the new line’s opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 15.

Glasgow Contaminated Site Wins Regeneration Award for Use of GCL Liner to Contain Chemical Waste
- The Sighthill area in Glasgow has undergone the first step in its ambitious transformation from a derelict, contaminated landscape to an attractive new urban neighbourhood thanks to civil engineers. The 50 hectare site encompassed numerous industrial facilities including chemical works, above and below ground rail infrastructure, brickworks and landfill from the M8. Sighthill was home to the St Rollox chemical works – the largest in the world in the early 19th century – which produced sodium carbonate (soda ash or crystals).
- The manufacturing process was massively inefficient, resulting in the dumping of large amounts of a waste material called galligu. Galligu presents a number of challenges and cannot simply be excavated as the physical handling process can cause its solid state to liquefy.
- Engineers mitigated contamination risk to the environment by containing the galligu with a 1.4km slurry wall and covering it with a 125,000m² geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) membrane. The earthworks and remediation activities included the movement of 1,200,000m3 of soils producing zero waste to landfill.
