Webinar – Geosynthetics Case Studies – August 12, 2025

This webinar will address three case studies in the geosynthetics industry. Todd Harman (Hallaton) will present the Druid Hill Reservoir Project, which included creating a liner system to contain one half of the 1-billion-gallon (55 acre) potable water storage reservoir that supplies the city of Baltimore and surrounding counties. Ron MacKenzie (Inland Tarp & Liner) will discuss the Sutter Field Construction Lining Project, which utilized large factory fabricated liners for athletics fields. Ron will also discuss the use of impervious membranes to allow for enhanced control of water usage and exacting moisture controls. Finally, Patrick Elliott (Colorado Lining Int’l/Viaflex) will present the Tesla Reservoir Rehabilitation Project, which is an equalization basin for the 28 MW Tesla Hydroelectric Power Generation Plant in Colorado Springs. The project included upgrading the reservoir bottom liner system to a thicker CSPE membrane to handle the heavy ice, rapid draw downs, an extensive slope ballast system, and to protect the geomembrane from uplift during low water periods.
