Revolutionizing Closure Systems: The Performance Advantages of Structured Geomembranes [PDF]
by Scott Perugia (AGRU America)
Coal combustion residual (CCR) containment facilities have traditionally been closed using methods that have changed little over several decades, but structured geomembranes are now reshaping closure design by improving slope stability, increasing interface friction, enhancing drainage, and providing long-term durability. Two systems are emerging as leading solutions: a structured geomembrane paired with a geotextile and vegetative cover, and a structured geomembrane paired with engineered turf. This presentation compares these approaches using field performance data, laboratory testing, and lessons learned, with emphasis on key factors such as infiltration control, drainage efficiency, slope stability, constructability, and regulatory compliance.
TVA-PAF Gypsum Stack Final Closure – Lessons Learned and Planning for Future Use [PDF]
by CTI and Associates and Watershed Geo
This case study involves review of the closure design and construction of a 250-acre gypsum stack at TVA’s Paradise Fossil Plant using Watershed Geo’s ClosureTurf final cap system. The design review will include the selection criteria of the final closure cap system, the use of a flatter-than-conventional 150-acre top deck grade, discussion of the storm water management strategy, and the planning for future use which potentially includes solar development and future harvesting of the CCP.
