Challenge: The airport faced significant water evaporation from its reservoirs, which are critical for firefighting and cooling systems. Additionally, the presence of open water bodies attracted wildlife, including birds, which posed a risk of bird strikes by getting too close to aircraft engines.

Solution: HexProtect®, a 100% Made in the USA modular floating cover system, was installed to reduce evaporation and improve water quality. The system also effectively deters wildlife by obscuring the water surface, preventing birds and other animals from being attracted to the reservoirs.

Results:

 • Achieved a 98% reduction in water evaporation, lowering operational costs and improving compliance with environmental regulations.

 • Wildlife protection: By preventing birds from being attracted to the water, the solution has reduced the risk of bird strikes, contributing to safer airport operations.

Challenge: The wastewater treatment facility was dealing with water loss and contamination, which increased treatment costs and raised environmental concerns. The use of open chemical treatments also posed a risk to local flora and fauna, as animals and plants could be exposed to potentially harmful substances.

Solution: HexProtect®, a 100% Made in America floating cover system, was deployed to minimize water evaporation and contamination. The system not only prevents water loss but also helps protect the local wildlife by reducing exposure to chemicals and shielding the water surface from contamination.

Results:

 • Achieved a 98% reduction in water loss, improved water quality, and reduced operational costs.

 • Flora and fauna protection: The floating covers prevent chemical exposure to the surrounding environment, ensuring that local plants and animals remain unaffected by harmful contaminants.

 • Algae prevention: By blocking sunlight, HexProtect® prevents algae growth, leading to lower chemical costs and a more sustainable operation.

 • The installation is fully compliant with local and federal environmental regulations.

Challenge: This major mining operation, located in an arid desert climate, was experiencing significant water loss due to evaporation in its large, open reservoirs. Water conservation is critical in this region, where resources are scarce. Additionally, the site needed to minimize the impact of chemical treatments on the surrounding wildlife and plant life, and deal with the growth of algae, which was increasing chemical treatment costs.

Solution: HexProtect®, a 100% Made in the USA modular floating cover system, was installed to minimize water evaporation while maintaining the quality of the water stored for operational needs. The system also prevents contamination from external elements and protects the local ecosystem by reducing the need for chemical treatments, safeguarding wildlife and flora from harmful exposure. By blocking sunlight, HexProtect® effectively prevents algae formation, leading to significant savings in chemical treatment costs.

Results:

 • A 98% reduction in water evaporation, significantly improving water resource management and extending the available water supply in the desert environment.

 • 90% reduction in chemical costs due to the prevention of algae formation, leading to significant operational savings.

 • Environmental protection: By limiting the need for chemicals, HexProtect® ensures that the local flora and fauna are shielded from contamination, contributing to a safer, more sustainable operation.

 • Fully compliant with environmental regulations, ensuring sustainable operations in a challenging climate.
