Sludge Lagoon Capping

Flint Industries has installed more sludge cap reinforcement systems than any other installer in North America.... nearly 20 million square feet.

Our company has installed these systems in both wet environments (where a fabricated panel is floated across a wet lagoon) and dry environments (where the panel is sewn in place). Quite often we did this while working with such hazards as radiation, PCB’s, asbestos, heavy metals, elemental phosphorous, and ph extremes. Since we often work at DOE and Superfund sites, in addition to other hazardous environments, our field personnel are HAZMAT certified.

Flint has installed geotextile fabrics, geogrids, and other polymeric products manufactured by almost every manufacturer in the industry in almost every environment imaginable. Although each site is unique, our vast experience allows us to approach each project with confidence as well as enabling us to assist other contractors on-site for the overall benefit of the project.

Flint has also developed its own unique Flintex® woven geotextile fabric for the exclusive purpose of working with sludge, either as reinforcement for a sludge cap or as a geotextile tube for dewatering sludge. This highly specialized geotextile exhibits superb tensile strength, is capable of achieving unusually high seam efficiencies, has an extended UV life span, and is competitively priced.
