Services
ClosureTurf
ClosureTurf is a patented final landfill closure system that exceeds EPA Subtitle-D requirements. This three-component system combines a structured geomembrane, engineered turf, and aggregate infill to eliminate erosion while controlling gas emissions. The system provides 99.9% sediment runoff reduction, 30% cost savings over traditional methods, and allows steeper waste slopes through enhanced stability.
HydroTurf
HydroTurf provides permanent erosion protection for hydraulic structures. This engineered revetment system combines an impermeable geomembrane with turf infilled with HydroBinder to create a fiber-reinforced concrete matrix. It withstands 40 ft/s flow velocities, offers 50+ year longevity, and reduces installation costs by up to 50% compared to traditional hard armor systems while maintaining natural aesthetics.
PowerCap
PowerCap is a patented solar mounting system designed for landfill and impoundment applications. This rackless system directly attaches to ClosureTurf without penetrations, allowing solar panel installation on slopes and flat surfaces. It provides up to 300% greater power output per unit area compared to traditional racking systems while maintaining complete environmental containment.
CapSure
CapSure is a two-component intermediate cover system for landfills. Featuring a high-grab geomembrane with an aerodynamic windbreak layer, it reduces leachate generation by 90%, controls landfill gas emissions, and provides slip-resistant surfaces for safe operations. The system maintains integrity for 15+ years while allowing easy removal for future waste placement.
VersaCap
VersaCap is an impermeable engineered turf system for intermediate landfill covers. Its high-strength backing and patented seam design provide wind-resistant protection for up to 20 years. The system reduces leachate production by 85%, controls erosion through slowed water runoff, and maintains natural aesthetics without vegetation maintenance requirements.
Questions
What environmental benefits do Watershed Geo's systems provide?
Our geosynthetic systems reduce carbon footprint by 75-90% during construction, eliminate soil erosion, and produce clean runoff with 99.9% sediment reduction.
How do your products compare to traditional soil covers?
Our systems eliminate the need for high-maintenance vegetative soil covers, reduce leachate production by 90%, and provide 300% greater solar energy output per unit area.
What installation advantages do your systems offer?
Our products install 50% faster than traditional methods using lightweight equipment, with one crew installing approximately 1 acre per day of HydroTurf systems.
What performance guarantees exist for your products?
Our systems have demonstrated 10+ years of proven field performance with no failures, even in 500-year storm events and hurricane-force wind conditions.
What maintenance savings can clients expect?
Clients typically see 50-70% reduction in long-term maintenance costs due to our systems' impermeable surfaces and elimination of vegetation management needs.
