Expert Geosynthetics Installation for Better Silver and Gold Mining ROI
The Coeur Rochester mine in Rochester, Nevada produced 4.6 million ounces of silver and 52,600 ounces of gold in 2016. One of the reasons for the success of the open pit and surface mining operation, with its on-site heap leach pads, has been the use of 80-mil high-density polyethylene geomembranes and geosynthetic clay liners for the various containment needs...

Installation of Asphalt Interlayers at High Ambient/Pavement Temperatures
By Ray Myers – The benefits of asphalt interlayers are documented going back over 40 years. Interlayers delay reflective cracking and form a moisture barrier when properly installed using liquid PG asphalt. A dry aggregate base maintains its’ designed load bearing capacity. Manufactures have continually added new and improved interlayers (paving mats, paving grids, and composite paving grids) to...
