Aug 7, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/535033

Inventors:

- Alpharetta GA, US
Jose Urrutia - Suwanee GA, US

Assignee:

WATERSHED GEOSYNTHETICS LLC - Alpharetta GA

International Classification:

E01C 13/08
E02D 17/20
B32B 5/26

Abstract:

A synthetic turf cover system for covering various types of ground where water and wind erosion protection are needed includes a non-woven synthetic textile drainage layer and a woven textile layer positioned beneath and adjacent the non-woven synthetic textile drainage layer. A plurality of synthetic grass blades extend above the non-woven synthetic textile drainage layer and through the non-woven synthetic textile drainage layer and the woven textile layer, and the synthetic grass blades are tufted into the woven textile layer. The non-woven synthetic textile drainage layer can comprise a needle punched synthetic non-woven fabric or an air-laid synthetic non-woven fabric.

Appl. No.:

14/721633

Inventors:

- Alpharetta GA, US
Jose Urrutia - Suwanee GA, US

Assignee:

WATERSHED GEOSYNTHETICS LLC - Alpharetta GA

International Classification:

D06N 7/00

Abstract:

A system for covering (i.e., closing) various types of sites where waste is deposited comprises a composite of one or more geotextiles that are tufted with synthetic yarns and an impermeable geomembrane, which is comprised of a polymeric material. The geotextiles can comprise polypropylene or polyethylene. The cover can include wind-resistant textured synthetic blade-like elements, such as vertical filaments, secured over a low-permeable polymer liner backing. Advantageously, the system does not rely on piled-on weight to resist wind forces and the cover can be deployed over a large area with little or no ballasting or anchoring. Optionally, the cover includes vertical filaments attached to the liner to break the wind aero-dynamics on the exposed cover. With this system, it is believed that the wind velocity on the impermeable surface (membrane) now becomes turbulent near the surface of the cover, thus greatly reducing the actual wind velocity at the liner surface and decreasing associated uplift.

Inventors:

- Alpharetta GA, US

Assignee:

International Classification:

G05D 16/04

US Classification:

137505

Abstract:

A gas vent for a landfill includes a sub-surface gas collection manifold for collecting sub-surface gas from beneath a geomembrane. Preferably, the collection manifold includes a plenum for receiving sub-surface gas. A conduit is connected to and extends upwardly from the plenum, with the conduit communicating with the interior volume of the plenum and having an upper discharge end. The conduit is adapted and provided for communicating sub-surface gas from within the interior volume of the plenum through the geomembrane. A low-pressure relief valve is operative for opening when positive pressure exists within the conduit. The low-pressure relief valve comprises a valve membrane normally resting upon a seat and which is lifted off the seat by low positive pressure.

Assignee:

WATERSHED GEOSYNTHETICS LLC - Alpharetta GA

International Classification:

D06H 5/00

US Classification:

156227, 1563084

Abstract:

A method for covering a site with synthetic turf includes laying down a first elongate strip of synthetic turf, laying down a second elongate strip of synthetic turf, with the second elongate strip of synthetic turf is laid down substantially adjacent to the first elongate strip of synthetic turf in a manner such that a portion of the second elongate strip partially overlays a portion of the first elongate strip forming a lap joint. The method also includes the step of applying heat and/or pressure to weld the first elongate strip of synthetic turf to the second elongate strip of synthetic turf along the lap joint.

International Classification:

E02D 17/20

US Classification:

428 17

Abstract:

A synthetic ground cover system for erosion control to be placed atop the ground, including a synthetic grass which comprises a composite of one or more geotextiles tufted with synthetic yarns and an impermeable backing/layer. The synthetic ground cover also includes a sand/soil infill ballast applied to the synthetic grass and a binding agent applied to the sand/soil infill to stabilize the sand/soil infill against high velocity water shear forces.
