COLETANCHE prevents damage from pollution, protecting water resources and soil quality for future generations, whilst remaining compatible with today's industrial and domestic activity.

 

     

To prevent the spread of pollution by rain water COLETANCHE is used to protect industrial waste storage, to cover tips and landfills, and to confine low activity nuclear waste.

Mining Waste
Mining industries often produce large amounts of waste which is unsuitable for re-use or recycling. This waste is usually stockpiled at the production site. Coletanche has been widely and successfully used (either covered with soil and grass or uncovered) to waterproof these stockpiles and to prevent the pollution of rivers, streams and aquifers.

Radioactive Waste    

Low level, short half-life nuclear waste, which is stored in stacked canisters in a repository in Northern France, is covered with a multi layer capping to prevent ingress of water. The cap includes Coletanche which was chosen for it's ability to remain watertight for 300 years.
