                                                  GCL

   GCL's are composites that combine geotextile outer layers with a core of low-permeability sodium bentonite clay. Bentonite is a natural sealant, which actuates (hydrates) on contact with water. GCL's are used as a replacement for compacted clay liners. Upon hydration, the bentonite in the  Geosynthetic Clay Liner swells to form a low permeability clay liner with a hydraulic conductiivity of less than 5 x 10-9 cm/sec. As a result,  GCL can provide approximately the same hydraulic protection as one metre of compacted clay.
