Landfill Closure & Cover High Solid Hydroseeding Slurry Binder
in Saskatchewan
Semi-arid winds and sudden, intense rain will strip your slopes. You must spray drought-resistant native grass seed mixed with heavy tackifiers to lock it down. Stabilize the highly plastic expansive clay subgrades to stop massive volumetric changes when moisture levels fluctuate.
Operational Constraints for Landfill Closure
Daily and intermediate landfill covers face severe wind erosion, off-gassing, and strict regulatory leachate controls. Loose soils blow offsite or wash into drainage systems, instantly triggering compliance violations. The objective is to seal the surface without adding excessive weight or moisture to the waste mass. You need a high-viscosity hydraulic hydro-cap that forms a durable crust over the refuse. The polymer must lock in dust and aggressively repel rainwater to prevent it from infiltrating the cell and increasing the site's expensive leachate treatment volume.
Meeting MHI (Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure) Standard Specifications Specifications
OHRA GreenTack anchors seed and mulch directly to the subsoil, providing the rain-fast shear strength required by MHI (Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure) Standard Specifications. Its microplastic-free botanical hydrocolloid network forms a 3D matrix. It resists high-velocity storm runoff and keeps synthetic toxins out of the watershed.
The matrix prevents "fisheye" lumping inside your hydroseeder pump. This stops pump cavitation and reduces friction head loss. You maximize your tank's spray payload and eliminate constant agitation adjustments on the job site.

Field Troubleshooting Guide
| Field Symptom | Likely Cause | Immediate Job-Site Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Slurry Too Thick / Hard to Pump | Exceeded recommended loading ratio | Add 50 gallons water & agitate 2 mins |
| Foam Overflowing Tank Hatch | High-shear agitation air entrainment | GreenTack maintains a low-foaming profile during high-shear agitation |
| Nozzle Spitting or Clogging | Commodity tackifier agglomerations (fisheyes) | GreenTack's dispersion modifiers prevent fisheye formation |
