ClosureTurf Brochure

ClosureTurf makes fast, cost-efficienterosion control so easy—it’s virtuallyinstall and that’s all.ClosureTurf is an impermeable final closure that eliminates the headaches of traditionalvegetative systems by offering greater erosion control, exceptional slope stability, lower gasemissions, and decreased leachate in a solution specifically designed to reduce constructionand long-term maintenance costs.ClosureTurf combines a specialized, engineered turf with a high-friction geomembranedrainage system to create a “locked in” ballast system that testing has proven significantlyoutperforms traditional vegetative closure methods with regard to installation, maintenance,compliance and environmental responsibility.

Performance:> Draining technology preventscommon erosion, storm water andsiltation problems—even duringsevere weather events.> Exceptionally high interface frictiongeomembrane provides greater stabilityon steeper grades and minimizes sloperebuilding.> Its surface is specifically designedto reduce head build up which minimizesinfiltration and therefore reducesleachate generation.Cost Savings:> Eliminates expensive soil cover, truckingand borrow source issues.> Durability and stability significantlyreduces annual operation and postclosuremaintenance costs.> Signficantly reduces sediment cleanoutof stormwater systems and ponds.

EnvironmentalBenefits:> Simple installation enables rapid closurecompared to traditional soil closures for earliercollection of landfill gases and drasticallyreduced emissions.> Durable system construction designed to handlegas pressure build up to eliminate releases andavoid soil sliding.> Synthetic grass requires no irrigation, seedingor mowing.> System enables a higher quality of clean stormwater runoff.> Reduce environmental carbon footprint by upto 75% during construction, plus obtain earlierinfluence of methane capture with more frequentclosure incrementsCompliance:> Exceeds EPA Subtitle D performance.> Converts the most problematic issues of landfillsoil erosion to the most environmentally soundby essentially making the cover a unique BMP.> Faster capping reduces leachate, emissionsand controls erosion.> State-of-the-art gas collection system improvesgas containment, reduces gas pressure build-up,and eliminates surface emissions.> Faster capping reduces leachate, emissionsand controls erosion.> Synthetic grass component maintains strengthand color against harsh UV light for over 100years when properly maintained.

Take a closer look at ClosureTurf .ClosureTurf’s three-component exposed geomembrane system combines specialized, engineeredturf and a highly transmissive structured geomembrane to provide exceptional performanceagainst operational and natural forces for a stable, environmentally friendly solution that controlserosion better than traditional vegetative cover systems, retains its composure and appearance,and is virtually maintenance free. And, since ClosureTurf requires no anchor trenches, it’s fasterand easier to install—for more immediate, cost-effective control of emissions.AGRU SUPERGRIPNET ®> Studs on membrane top enable quick, highcapacity drainage of rainfall to reduce sandinfill erosion and siltation problems.> Integral spikes on membrane bottom ensurehigh friction to subgrade for steeper slopesand help eliminate soil stability problems causedby rainfall and earthquakes.> Membrane is 20% thicker than whatmost regulatory agencies require.DuraTurfTufted Geotextile> Maintains excellent residual strength andcolor durability against harsh UV light forover 100 years if properly maintained.> Provides an aesthetically-pleasing surfacewith less maintenance.> Engineered with a multi-layered backing forhigh dimensional stability and longevity.> Highly stable on slopes as steep as 1h:1vand under high seismic loads.

Sand Ballast> Effectively stabilizes the system,eliminating the need for anchoring.> Creates a non-exposed system reducingUV and heat on the membrane.> Protects against heavy equipmentand site traffic for overall longevity.> Wind tunnel evaluation up to 150 mph winds.6 INCHESOF RAINPER HOURClosureTurf isspecifically designedfor long-term slopestability in the wake ofsevere weather eventssuch as intense rainfall,hurricane force windsand earthquakes

VersaCap is a low-cost, intermediate landfill cover solution designed to help prevent erosion, infiltration,runoff and gas emission during the operational phases of the landfill.Fast and easy to install, VersaCap is a wind-resistant membrane comprised of a synthetic turf andspecially-formulated polymer backing that improves the quality of surface water runoff and eliminatesany downstream siltation, preventing erosion of the cover soils. VersaCap does not require tires orsandbags to keep it in place and can easily be taken up and reused in future areas.HydroTurf is an economical, environmentally-friendly alternative covering to rock riprap and piped channels.It is composed of a durable synthetic turf with a high friction geomembrane which are locked into place witha specially formulated pozzolan ballast infill. Made exclusively for bench drains, down drains and downchutestructures on landfill covers, HydroTurf works like a flexible concrete providing superior hydraulic performancehandlingvery high sheer forces created by large velocity and large volume flows.Delivering the same advantages as ClosureTurf, HydroTurf offers rapid, low impact installation that’s significantlyless costly than hard armor and piping, and is proven to last more than 100 years when properly maintained.Best of all, unlike hard armor riprap channels, HydroTurf leaves cleaner runoff water so it’s better for theenvironment.The nature of the ClosureTurf system provides an excellent opportunity for generating environmentally friendlyrenewable energy through the implementation of solar panel arrays. ClosureTurf’s geosynthetic cover enablespanels to operate in a clean environment with a very low amount of dust and dirt. The engineered turf providesan excellent surface for easy access and eliminates the risk of panel damage from mowing and frequentwashing required for other types of ground cover.And, the exceptionally durable heavy load bearing ClosureTurf platform enables complete accessibilityfor installation, maintenance and replacement of PV panels. A positive energy source that benefits landfilloperators as well as the entire community, solar panel arrays result in a practical post-closure use ofexpansive landfill acreage
