Tunnels

Full-scope geosynthetic containment

One contractor for engineering, fabrication, and field installation across every containment application, simple or complex, big or small.

Landfill Liner Systems

Single and composite-lined cells, caps, and leachate ponds for MSW, hazardous, and coal-ash sites.

Floating Covers

Gas-capture, potable-water, and evaporation covers for ponds, lagoons, and digesters.

Baffle Curtains

Flow-control baffles that eliminate dead zones and improve circulation in treatment basins.

Methane Barriers

Under-slab and below-grade methane mitigation, installed to LADBS compliance.

Mining

Heap-leach pads, tailings impoundments, solution channels, and evaporation ponds.

Oil & Gas Containment

Frac-water, drilling-mud, and produced-water containment with panels up to 25,000 SF.

Secondary Containment

Tank and facility containment, prefabricated drop-in or full field installs.

Water Reservoirs

Lined concrete reservoirs, steel tanks, clearwells, and earthen raw-water reservoirs.

Wastewater Containment

Storage lagoons, holding ponds, and sediment basins with odor and biogas covers.

Tunnels

Induction-welded tunnel lining with 30% fewer field seams for leak-free, seismic-ready systems.

Specialty Fabrication

Prefabricated geomembranes, fuel bladders, geotubes, and custom environmental barriers.

EPS Lightweight Fill

InsulFoam GF geofoam for embankments, bridge approaches, and soil stabilization.

Liner Repair and Leak Location

Leak location support, extrusion-welded repairs, and seam retesting for existing liners.

Erosion Control

Turf reinforcement mats, blankets, and geotextiles for slopes, channels, and closure covers.

Drop-In Berm Liners

One-piece shop-fabricated liners dropped into containment berms with minimal field welding.

SPCC Containment Compliance

Sufficiently impervious liner retrofits and capacity checks for SPCC-regulated storage.

Tank Farm and Substation Containment

Facility-scale containment for tank farms, terminals, and transformer yards.

Our people and experience make the difference

The reasons owners and engineers trust our crews with critical containment, from the weld to the final test.

Full scope, one contractor

Engineering, fabrication, field installation, and maintenance under one roof, with one team accountable for the whole system.

Custom panels up to 25,000 SF

We fabricate custom geomembrane panels up to 25,000 SF and stock off-the-shelf options for rapid deployment.

Vacuum and smoke tested barriers

Methane barrier seams are vacuum and smoke tested for a leak-proof system before handoff.

60+ years combined, hundreds in the field

Our management team carries 60-plus years of combined geosynthetic lining experience and our crews represent hundreds of years collectively.

Two California CSLB licenses

Licenses #894068 and #1003207, verifiable through the state board.

Nationwide, coast to coast

Crews mobilize from our California, Texas, and Nevada offices to projects across the country.

One team, the full lifecycle

From the first drawing to long-term maintenance, the same crews stay with your containment system.

01

Design and Engineering

We engineer the containment system and detail materials and seam layout for your site and spec.

02

Fabrication

Panels are custom-fabricated in-house up to 25,000 SF, with stocked off-the-shelf options when speed matters.

03

Field Installation

Our crews are the most experienced in the industry. They consistently deliver high quality installations with unparalleled customer service.

04

Maintenance

We maintain and repair systems over their service life so containment keeps performing.

West Coast strength, now part of a national team

EC Applications (ECA) has joined EFI USA. Beyond our western installation crews, EFI USA brings national capabilities that go beyond installation: engineered biogas and anaerobic digester systems, covered and floating lagoon systems, and cap-and-flare and gas-handling design and construction. Same people, same standards, a full-scope containment and biogas team within reach of nearly any site in the country.

  • Regional offices in Anaheim CA, Midland TX, and Sparks NV
  • Shared engineering, fabrication, and field expertise
  • One call for projects from coast to coast

Potable Water Reservoir Liner and Floating Cover, El Dorado Irrigation District

El Dorado Irrigation District, California

EC Applications installed both the base liner and the floating cover on a potable water reservoir just under two acres in size, a total area of geosynthetics of just less than four acres. The reservoir's previous cover was some 30 years old, had exceeded its useful design life, and was in urgent need of repair to prevent the stored drinking water from being contaminated. Carollo Engineers was the design engineer and carried out the detailed design, working with Seaman Corporation on material selection and with EC Applications on construction. Seaman's XR-PW was chosen for the primary liner system, the floating cover, and all of the appurtenances. It is one of only a few products carrying NSF approval for potable water use, and it can be seamed efficiently at the time of original installation and re-welded throughout the life of the reservoir with the same heat welds used for routine repairs.
