What is the difference in hydraulic conductivity between GSE GundSeal GCLs and fabric encased GCLs?
The permeability of typical fabric encased GCLs is that of the bentonite layer, approximately 5 x 10-11 m/sec. Given that the construction of GSE GundSeal GCL includes a geomembrane carrier geosynthetic, this decreases the product permeability to less than 4 x 10-14 m/sec. Therefore, the GSE GundSeal GCL is more than 1,000 times less permeable than the fabric encased GCLs.
