Max Bright & Sons Storage Lagoon projects are often networks of multiple storage and treatment lagoon systems with associated infrastructure included in our deliverables. Our work is always delivered to strict tolerances and follows complex and detailed plans. We maintain rigorous quality control to ensure compliance with plans and specifications.

We successfully apply the full range of complexity of impervious clay liners, geosynthetic clay liners, polyethylene liners and clay liner protection.
