Question 1

What does EC Applications do?

Accepted Answer

EC Applications is a geosynthetic liner installation and environmental containment contractor. We design, fabricate, install, and maintain geomembrane systems: landfill liners, floating covers, wastewater and water reservoir liners, mining and oil and gas containment, secondary containment, methane barriers, tunnel waterproofing, baffle curtains, and EPS lightweight fill. Our team brings over 60 years of combined experience in the geosynthetic lining industry.

Question 2

Is EC Applications part of EFI USA?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EC Applications is an EFI USA company. ECA continues to operate under its own name, offices, licenses, and field crews, serving the western United States and nationwide from locations in Anaheim, California; Midland, Texas; and Sparks, Nevada.

Question 3

Which industries does EC Applications serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve landfill (municipal solid waste, hazardous, coal ash, and canyon fill), mining (heap leach, tailings, evaporation ponds), municipal and potable water, wastewater treatment, oil and gas (frac water, drilling mud, produced water), commercial and residential methane barriers, transportation infrastructure including highways and tunnels, fuel storage and secondary containment, biogas collection and odor control, and erosion control.

Question 4

Where does EC Applications operate?

Accepted Answer

EC Applications works from three offices: our headquarters at 901 East Orangethorpe Avenue in Anaheim, California, plus regional offices in Midland, Texas and Sparks, Nevada. Our crews install across the western United States and nationwide, coast to coast, and our field teams represent hundreds of years of installation work collectively.

Question 5

What contractor licenses does EC Applications hold?

Accepted Answer

We hold two California CSLB licenses, #894068 and #1003207. For projects outside California, contact our Anaheim office and we will confirm licensing and mobilization details for your state and site.

Question 6

Can EC Applications mobilize to projects outside California, Texas, and Nevada?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While our offices are in Anaheim, Midland, and Sparks, we install nationwide. Our completed work includes projects as far afield as Hawaii, where we installed a 600,000 SF biogas cover and methane barrier and a fuel storage secondary containment system for Hawaiian Electric Company.

Question 7

Which geomembrane materials does EC Applications install?

Accepted Answer

We install smooth and textured HDPE and LLDPE, reinforced polypropylene (RPP), PVC, XR geomembranes, spray-applied liquid boot, geosynthetic clay liners (GCL), geotextiles, GeoNet, and geocomposites. Material selection depends on chemical exposure, UV conditions, subgrade movement, and whether the panel will be prefabricated or field welded, and we help clients choose the right material for each site.

Question 8

Does EC Applications fabricate its own liner panels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Panels are custom-fabricated in-house up to 25,000 SF or 4,000 lbs per panel, which means fewer field seams and faster installation on site. We also stock off-the-shelf liner inventory for rapid deployment when project schedules demand it, along with custom fabrication of portable containment systems, fuel bladders, geotubes, and environmental barriers.

Question 9

Does EC Applications install EPS geofoam?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We supply and install InsulFoam GF (EPS Geofoam), a rigid closed-cell expanded polystyrene block manufactured to ASTM D6817. Geofoam is an engineered alternative to soil fill for embankments, bridge approaches, and retaining walls, solving settlement and bearing problems on highway, railway, airport, and civil projects.

Question 10

Who are EC Applications' material partners?

Accepted Answer

We partner with Agru America and TPH Waterproofing Systems, most visibly on tunnel lining work where we install using an induction welding system. Partnering directly with manufacturers keeps our crews current on material specifications and approved installation methods.

Question 11

How does EC Applications verify seam and installation quality?

Accepted Answer

Our crews are the most experienced in the industry and consistently deliver high quality installations with unparalleled customer service. Field seams are tested to the project specification before handoff, and on methane barrier work every seam is vacuum and smoke tested for a leak-proof system. That verification step is how we deliver containment that performs for the life of the facility.

Question 12

Does EC Applications handle methane barrier compliance and inspection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our under slab methane barrier installations for commercial and residential buildings are built to LADBS compliance, and every installation is certified through Deputy Inspector coordination. We install methane barriers in HDPE/LLDPE, PVC, spray-applied liquid boot, and composite absolute barrier materials.

Question 13

Does EC Applications maintain and repair existing containment systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We maintain floating cover systems, install baffle curtain retrofits that require no dewatering, and take on wastewater containment remediation as well as new construction. If an existing liner, cover, or containment system needs inspection, repair, or replacement, our crews handle it as a single design-to-construction-to-maintenance service.

Question 14

How do I get a quote from EC Applications?

Accepted Answer

Request a quote through our contact page or call our Anaheim headquarters at (714) 921-9848. Tell us about your site, the fluid or gas you need to contain, and your schedule, and we will scope the project with you, from material selection through fabrication, installation, and testing.
