- Spray applied covers
Posi-Shell® ADC is a durable, non-flammable, erosion-resistant, spray-applied coating that removes the need for traditional daily or intermediate waste covers.
Landfill operators can make savings in air space, labour, machinery and fuel costs by using Posi-Shell® instead of traditional soil covers.
Made of non-toxic materials, it is an environmentally compatible, multi-purpose daily landfill cover solution that is cost-effective and uses up to 24 times less space than traditional methods.
The life of a landfill depends on the remaining permitted available air space. Each cubic metre of traditional cover used for daily cover results in a permanent loss of revenue on space that cannot be sold.

Composition
Posi-Shell® is a patented blend of clay binders, reinforcing fibers, and polymers that, when mixed with water, produces a spray-applied mortar forming a thin layer of durable stucco. Posi-Shell will adhere to any surface or topography.
How it works
Applying Posi-Shell® in some cases can be a one-person operation and done using specialised equipment or a standard hydroseeding unit.
One load of Posi-Shell® requires just one hour for mixing, application and rinse-out. After application it hardens to form a cement-type crust that provides a durable coating that is resistant to wind and water erosion.
