    Burghley Green is an attractive new development by Taylor Wimpey in West Cambourne, Cambridgeshire. As this was originally a greenfield project and there would be greater impermeable surfaces as a result of the development, it was necessary to add sufficient sustainable drainage ponds to address this.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The aesthetically pleasing ponds would promote pollutant control while also providing habitat to aquatic vegetation and wildlife along their \u201cshoreline\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Maccaferri MacLine GCL liners were used to provide the impermeable lining to the ponds. The MacLine GCL W20 is a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) that consists of a naturally occurring bentonite layer sandwiched between non-woven geotextiles.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The MacLine GCL has \u201cself-healing\u201d properties in that if the liner is punctured the bentonite expands sealing the puncture. Installation is straightforward and can be completed by a competent contractor as there is no need for specialist welds like in an HDPE liner. The liner is supplied in rolls which are unrolled in position on the site with a small overlap with an adjacent panel of clay liner.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Maccaferri supplied a total of 25,000m2 of Macline W20 to 4 different ponds on the project.<\/p>\n
