Featured product: Lagoon liners
------------------------------------------------------

Of the hundreds of wastewater lagoons in our region (Iowa alone has more 
than 700), most are built on compacted soil or use clay to create a 
minimally-permeable barrier between the wastewater and the groundwater 
below. Geomembrane liners can be far superior to compacted soil liners 
for improving the quality of isolation between the wastewater and the 
ground below, since they are fabricated under controlled factory 
conditions and can be rigorously tested both prior to shipment and in 
the field. For those applications where a sound, reliable barrier is 
necessary to improve source-water protection, we can offer a wide range 
of materials for lagoon liners, including the impressive Layfield 
EnviroLiner. EnviroLiner can be warranted for 20 years, and is optimal 
for its ease of installation. With UV stability, it can be installed 
without a soil cover and requires a minimum amount of labor to install 
for the long term.
