In Egypt, new compounds and city extensions add thousands of inspection chambers, septic tanks and concrete sewer pipes every year. Yet many are built with bare concrete or brick and simple render. As a result, groundwater seeps in, or sewage seeps out. This guide explains how cementitious slurries protect these ... Read More

Irrigation Canal Lining: Geomembrane and Flexible Coatings to Cut Seepage

Irrigation canal lining reduces the water a canal loses into the ground before it reaches the fields. In Egypt, every cubic metre counts. So the choice of lining matters, and it depends mainly on whether the canal is earth or concrete. This guide compares the main options from their data sheets and explains how Target plans a lining job. Contents ... Read More

HDPE Landfill Liner: Textured Geomembrane for Landfill Cells in Egypt

So the sheet must resist puncture, tear, chemical attack and slow cracking under stress. This guide explains how to read a textured geomembrane data sheet, and how Target approaches landfill ...
