A “Natural Cap Conference” will take place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands from 19-21 April 2011 to address green rehabilitation strategies and opportunities for hazardous waste sites. The event is rooted in the success of the innovative Volgermeerpolder project in the Netherlands. In that remediation work, which will conclude on the opening day of the conference, local peat lands exhibited excellent containment capabilities. Using peat instead of expensive construction materials in the remediation design resulted in significant reductions in the project cost. This natural cap solution was made possible through intelligent an use of geosynthetics, including fiber optic-optimized monitoring geosynthetics from TenCate. Download the event flyer.
