potential. The cut slope which was mainly composed by
fine grained soil required a protection from erosion
created by rain and surface water flow. The selection of
the right solution was necessary in order to prevent
failure by presence of water. Erosion Control System by

cables called Macmat® HS was installed on the cut
slope. An array of mulching contained of seeds was
then applied onto the Macmat® HS to bring vegetation.

LOW PERMEABILITY LINING SYSTEM

Low Permeability Lining System using Geosyn-

thetic Clay Liner (GCL) secures soil area from
water infiltration by giving a waterproofing
effect onto. As substitution of thick clay soil, GCL
is available as an alternative solution with bene-
ficial advantages. Macline® GCL W by Maccaferri
consists of Sodium Bentonite encapsulated
between non-woven geosynthetic and woven
geosynthetic. With nominal thickness from
5.5mm – 6.5mm, Macline® GCL W can have very
low permeability until 1x10-11 m/sec under
100 kPa of pressure. Using a single layer, a
permeation time of 15-20 years can be reached
which is equivalent as 500mm thick of clay soil
with permeability of 1x10-9 m/sec. Compared
to other waterproofing solutions, GCL is able to
adapt with variative contour thanks to its flexi-
bility and easier to be installed with overlapping
connection without using any particular equip-
ment.
