Geosynthetic Liner Installation for Coal Ash Containment
Containment of Coal Combustion Byproduct (CCB), commonly known as coal ash, is vital for the preservation of groundwater and soil. From active impoundments and dewatering operations to final closure systems, geosynthetics provide critical barriers, drainage and reinforcement throughout the lifecycle of coal ash management.
Mustang Extreme provides experienced geosynthetic installation for coal ash containment, closure and remediation projects. Our crews install liner, cover, drainage and reinforcement systems designed to meet project specifications and support environmental compliance.
Materials Installed:
- 20, 30, 40, 60, 80 and 100 Mil HDPE and LLDPE Geosynthetic Membrane
- Geosynthetic Clay liner (GCL)
- HydroTurf®
- Geocomposite
- Geosynthetic Textile
- Geonet
- Wind Defender® Ballast Systems
- Floating Covers
- PVC

Coal Ash Containment & Liner Systems
Mustang Extreme installs single- and multi-layer geosynthetic containment systems for coal ash impoundments, disposal cells, process ponds and other CCR applications. Our experienced crews install each component according to project specifications to provide reliable containment and support long-term system performance.
Applications:
- Geomembrane Liner Installation: Installation of HDPE and LLDPE geomembranes for CCR impoundments, disposal cells, process ponds and other coal ash containment applications.
- Geosynthetic Clay Liner Installation: Installation of GCLs beneath geomembranes as part of composite liner systems requiring an additional low-permeability containment barrier.
- Conductive Geomembrane Installation: Installation of conductive liner systems that support electrical leak location testing to help identify defects before the containment system is placed into service.
Coal Ash Dewatering & Solids Management
Mustang Extreme provides geosynthetic solutions for coal ash dewatering and solids management, helping utilities and contractors separate water from CCR slurry and consolidate solids for subsequent handling, closure or disposal.
Applications:
- Geotextile Dewatering Tube Installation: Installation of engineered geotextile tubes designed to retain coal ash solids while allowing water to filter through the fabric, helping consolidate CCR material and reduce the volume of wet waste requiring management.
Coal Ash Caps & Closure Systems
Mustang Extreme installs geosynthetic cap and final cover systems for coal ash impoundments and disposal areas. Our crews install multiple geosynthetic components designed to meet project specifications for infiltration control, stormwater management, erosion protection and long-term closure performance.
Applications:
- Synthetic Turf Closure System Installation: Installation of engineered synthetic turf systems designed to provide long-term surface protection while helping control erosion and reduce precipitation infiltration.
- Geocomposite Drainage Installation: Installation of geocomposite drainage layers that help collect and move water away from covered areas and manage water accumulation within the cap system
Structural Stabilization
Mustang Extreme installs geosynthetic reinforcement systems to support construction and closure activities where soft or unstable soils create challenging site conditions. These solutions can help improve subgrade performance and provide additional stability around coal ash impoundments, berms, disposal areas and site infrastructure.
Applications:
- Geogrid & Geotextile Installation: Installation of high-strength geosynthetics for subgrade stabilization, reinforced berms, access areas and mechanically stabilized earth structures.
Additional Services:
- Aeration and Remote Monitoring Systems for Stored Water
- Above Ground Storage Tanks
- Composite Mats for Temporary Work Platforms, Staging Sites and Site Access Roads
- FODS Trackout Mats for Debris Control at Site Entrances
