Geosynthetics in the Volgermeerpolder

The Volgermeerpolder (NL), which was once a landfill site for heavily polluted household and industrial waste, has been cleaned up and turned into a nature reserve. This is the largest soil remediation operation in Dutch history. With the aid of TenCate Geotube®, clean sludge was converted into a natural cap (a layer of clean soil) on top of the seal. TenCate GeoDetect® is used to monitor the seal on the waste in one of the basins that were created on top of the natural cap.
