What makes this product perform.

Expand each panel for the technical detail.

  • Our Pond Construction Clay achieves a hydraulic conductivity of 1×10⁻⁸ cm/s when compacted to specification. In practical terms, at that permeability water movement through the liner is measured in millimetres per year under typical hydraulic head conditions. That is the difference between a water body that holds its level and one that requires constant topping up or never fills to design level at all. This is not a theoretical value from optimal laboratory conditions — it is the measured performance of the material when compacted to densities achievable with standard earthworks plant on a typical pond construction site.

  • Variability in clay mineralogy, moisture, or the presence of granular inclusions creates zones within a liner where permeability differs — and water will find the path of least resistance. Our material is processed to deliver uniform plasticity and composition from load to load, giving the contractor confidence that the liner built on Monday performs the same as the section placed on Friday. That predictability simplifies compaction control, reduces rework risk, and supports consistent lift-by-lift construction. For larger impoundment projects where the liner is subject to engineering review and permeability verification, our documented material properties provide a solid starting point for the design process.

  • Our clay is suited to the full range of pond lining approaches. For fully engineered compacted clay liners laid in controlled lifts, our documented plasticity and permeability data supports design sign-off and regulatory compliance. For puddle clay applications worked by hand or light plant, the moisture conditioning makes it practical to shape and place without additional preparation. For hybrid approaches combining a clay blanket with a geomembrane overlay, our material provides a stable, consistent base layer with documented permeability beneath the membrane. In each case, the material properties that matter are what our clay is specifically produced to deliver.
