Coletanche®

The optimal solution in environmental protection

for extreme durability andlongevity in harsh environmental conditions

One name, two productsColetanche NTP: The conventional product line based on blown bitumen with four different grades to address most liner requirements.

Coletanche ES:

The polymer modified product line with four different grades designed for better installation and service in cold climates.

Coletanche®

QualityWe apply strict quality control and quality assurance plans during membrane manufacture and onsite installation. These stringent standards help to ensure optimal product performance. Welded seams can be tested using ultrasonic equipment, vacuum bells / boxes, or geoelectrical testing depending on the type of

project.

Layering OperationsCOLETANCHE is very easy to install, even in difficult weather. A small team of installers manages the entire process using a hydraulic beam attached to an excavator. All seams are manually welded with a propane torch system - a process that also makes the product easy to repair or extend. COLETANCHE is very adaptable and is easily anchored and sealed to manholes, pipes, piles or other appurtenances present on site. It can be readily sealed to most materials – concrete, asphalt, steel, wood, PVC, and HDPE.

Environmental ProtectionCOLETANCHE supports industrial and domestic activities in a safe and environmentally conscientious way. Our geomembranes prevent damage to the earth caused by contaminated materials, and help to preserve water resources and soil quality for future generations.

Waste containmentCOLETANCHE prevents the spread of contamination and is often used to protect the earth from sources of waste.

Building in sensitive areasWhether minimizing the impact of a construction project on the natural surroundings, or improving existing site conditions, COLETANCHE is wellsuited for difficult sites.

Part of industrial processAs an effective barrier to contamination, COLETANCHE has many industrial uses.

Biogas BarriersIn the rehabilitation of contaminated sites, such as old landfills and gas stations, a biogas barrier is placed strategically to prevent gases emanating from the contaminants from spreading into overlying structures or the surrounding area. This improves site conditions and allows for the safe construction of new projects or new land uses on formerly contaminated sites.

COLETANCHE is known for extreme durability and longevity in harsh environmental conditions

■ Exceptional tensile strength

■ Resistant to hydrostatic, dynamic and aggregate puncture (Does Not generally need bedding sand)

■ No stress cracking

■ Resistant to penetration by rodents and tree roots

■ Resistant to chemicals, including acids and bases

■ Performs in environments with pH 2-9

■ Adapts well to the soil profile and differential

■ settlements due to the visco-elastic behaviour of bitumen

■ Unaffected by superficial aging caused by U.V. rays

■ Minimal maintenance required - even on unprotected membranes

■ Has low dilation – does not expand or contract with temperature changes

COLETANCHE may be covered with most materials without any extra protection:

■ hot mix asphalt and mastic asphalt

■ cast in place concrete and prefabricated bricks or slabs

■ rocks and gabions

■ ballast (NTP4, ES4)

■ rip rap and gravel armouring

■ top soil and seed

COLETANCHE is widely used to protect soil and water from contamination. The most common applications are:

■ dams

■ canals

■ biogas barriers

■ salt facility environmental lining

■ mining

■ landfills

■ reservoirs / ponds / lagoons

■ containment liners
