Canals

Supreme Lining and Erosion Control Performance

Particularly on power station canal refurbishment projects where installation of the lining necessitates drainage of the canal, the resulting downtime and lost energy production pose a major problem. Here, Incomat Standard, a lining system requiring neither full nor partial canal drainage, offers the ideal solution. The concrete lining also provides long-lasting erosion protection. HUESKER’s product portfolio additionally features geosynthetic systems for lining power station, irrigation and drinking water canals under dry conditions. Some of these applications involve the use of geosynthetic clay liners.
