This multi-contract project proved to be an undertaking that demonstrated CLI's ability to adapt & thrive in multiple large scale applications. CLI worked closely with the Contractors, Engineers & Plant Owner to design each phase, which spanned a period of approximately 4 years.

This endeavor consisted mainly of sludge removal from three storage ponds into a double lined HDPE cell that would be capped with PVC. Two of the original three ponds were also double-lined for exceptional containment and re-use. Additional ponds (listed below) were designed differently & used varied liner combinations to best fit each pond's necessity.

By considering several factors like surface lining, capping requirements and climate, we were able to offer material & installation services that no-one else could. PVC was chosen as the cap material because the three dimensional elements of PVC hold up well against the settlement that can occur for a cap like this. Eastern Colorado also presented significant challenges due to high winds, severe storms, and intense summer heat, which is typical in that region.

Despite all the factors to consider and obstacles present during the project, CLI's Project Manager and Installation Technicians rose to the occasion, and finished the job ahead of schedule and under budget.
