HydraGuard – Video of Testimonial

On Dust Control, Odor Control and Reduction in Leachate due to Storm Water Intrusion. Dale Hughes, a site manager at a monofil in Tennessee , provides an insight into his use of HydraGuard at the monofil to control odors, and the intrusion of water into the landfill that reacted with the aluminum dross material deposited as waste. Reducing leachate volumes which have ammonia levels that reach as high as 6000 mg/l.

HydraGuard Benefits

A film forming coating that soaks into the soil and turns the soil into the coating itself

Will Support Weight of a Person

HydraGuard, when applied to a loose granular soil, can congeal the soil and glue it together. The photo to the right is a man weighing 290 lbs standing on the granular soil a couple of days after application

Penetration

The soil in the second photo to the right shows how HydraGuard glues the soil together down and inch below the surface

Creation of a Barrier

Using this on gravel and sand, you can see from the bottom two photos how the sand is held together by the HydraGuard.

Water Intrusion Negated

Water just runs off the surface and does not penetrate the soil. Users have found substantial changes in volumes of leachate requiring treatment since 25% of storm water that typically becomes part of treatable leachate is diverted away

Gas Suppression

All the laboratory testing shows incredible reductions in gas flow through the barrier. We are not restricting 100% but close to 90-95%. Great when sprayed around vertical gas well penetrations.

Easy Application

HydraGuard comes in 275 gallon totes making it easy to load. It can be applied using your water truck or hydro-seeder.

What Our Customers are Saying

ODOR AND VAPOR SUPPRESSION FOR SYDNEY TARPONDS: We nearly got shut down because of odors. NWC was called with ConCover 180 and HydraGuard and we were able to continue with reduced Odor Complaints.

Mike Chase - Project Manager & Engineer, AECOM

ODOR SUPPRESSION & RAIN WATER INTRUSION MINIMIZATION: We have seen about a 25% reduction in the volume of leachate we are generating, while at the same time we seen a reduction in Odor Complaints

DUST CONTROL: Great Product, helps reduce the number of times we have to run our water truck.

HydraGuard Benefits: Impermability & Durability for Cover Materials

Benefits include better VOC Suppression – Longer Lasting Fugitive Dust Control – Employee Safety

Testing Shows 10-7 impermeability

New Waste Concepts has had the ConCover 180 and ConCover SW both with the addition of HydraGuard tested at a major lab for impermeability. Tests on both products reflect the addition of hydraGuard brings both products to a 10-7 level of impermeability

Major Engineering Firms spec ConCover 180 with HydraGuard for the tough jobs

ConCover 180 with HydraGuard has been specified by AECOM, SHAW, Obrien & Gere, Conestoga Rovers for Sydney Tarponds clean up, DOD and DOE facilities, Hudson River PCB project, and many more. Durability and Odor Suppression are the primary reasons for their choice. ConCover 180 NS with HydraGuard can sink and coat the bottom of a 6 inch deep pond so that a VOC and Odor suppressing layer is created and is in place when the pond fully evaporates.

Steep Slope Erosion Control & Revegetation medium

HydraGuard and either ConCover 180 or ConCover SW can be used on steel slopes up as shown in the top middle photo to the right. HydraGuard and the NWC polymeric additives create an excellent medium for the support of grass and other seed for revegetation.
