The conductivity tested at 42 ohns per meter \/ 4200 Ohm Centimeters and can be furthur enhanced by adding 1 100lb bag of calcium chloride per 10 cubic yards of the Sheffield clay. Spread the calcium chloride about 4\" below the surface and soak thoughly to permit the chloride to disolve into the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep and shallow earth grounding systems are critical for protection of personnel and sensitive electrical equipment by creating a low resistance path to earth ground for electrical surges and transient voltages. Lightning, fault currents, circuit switching, and electrostatic discharge are the common causes of these surges and transient voltages. An effective grounding system minimizes the detrimental effects of these electrical surges. A suitable earth termination electrical grounding system improves resistance to uneven power and limits the amount of noise in commercial electrical systems. It is critcal to the function of GFI (ground fault interupt) circuts, lightning protection and reduction of ground potential rises (GPRs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also offer Bentonite by the bag and pallet for smaller ground system installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease call to arrange pickup or delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe create custom clay bodies; created to your specifications in strict confidentiality.

The deposit is approximately 300 feet deep and is located on a 16 acre site. Our warehouse and production facility includes a 3000 square foot bulk handling area for use in processing our Sheffield Clay. Special properties of this clay are its plasticity, fired color and unique particle size. The raw clay is a pure clay, with no stones, sticks or other contaminants. Our tested formulas blend Sheffield Clay with other more common clays, resulting in a distinct, high quality range of clay bodies unequaled in the Northeast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease call us 8:30-5:00 EST toll-free 1.888.spi.clay to order or discuss your specific needs.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease see our raw material list for other industrial and constuction materials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/raw-materials-pricing-by-pound-less-than-50-lb-full-bag\"\u003eSmall Quantities\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/raw-materials-pricing-by-full-bag\"\u003eLarge Quantities\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"natural-pond-liner-clay-ccpc","title":"Pond Liner Clay: Price Per Cubic Yard : Regional Delivery And Pick Up Only","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"abz-seo-product\"\u003eNatural Clay for Pond Liner:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur native Sheffield clay is widely used as a liner to create ponds for landscaping, swimming, and livestock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClay is an durable, efficient and economical alternative to plastic, ESS13, and bentonite pond liners.\u003cbr\u003eNatural pond liner clay is less expensive to install and maintain than plastic or rubber liners which break down over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8\"-12\" of tamped clay creates a watertight liner for ponds or any size.\u003cbr\u003eNatural clay allows native flora and fauna to maintain a healthy ecosystem in your pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"...clay produces much higher quality lakes and ponds when designed correctly.
