International Lining Technology

What International Lining Technology does

International Lining Technology (ILT) is a privately held geosynthetic and geomembrane lining installation contractor headquartered in Reno, Nevada, with a satellite office in The Woodlands, Texas. Founded in 1989 by CEO Michael Salley, the company specializes exclusively in the installation of containment lining systems made from HDPE, LLDPE, PVC, geosynthetic clay liners (GCL), geotextiles, geonets, geocomposites, and geogrids. Services span the full project lifecycle — estimating, material procurement, field deployment, seam welding, and quality-control testing (weld strength tests, leak-location/puddle tests) — for applications including mining heap leach pads and tailings storage, municipal landfill lining and closure caps, water/wastewater reservoirs and lagoons, agricultural irrigation ponds, coal-ash evaporation ponds, and industrial secondary containment.

ILT serves enterprise and government clients across the mining, municipal, agricultural, power-generation, and industrial verticals, with marquee customers including Nevada Gold Mines, Newmont, Barrick Goldstrike, Coeur Rochester, Sacramento Regional County Sanitation, Arizona Public Service, and Jackson Family Wines. Revenue is generated predominantly through project-based competitive bidding for large-scale containment installations that often span multi-million-square-foot deployments, supplemented by a smaller surplus-materials sales line. The company markets through a mix of website/project-portfolio content, industry conferences (GeoAmericas, Elko Mining Expo, Nevada Mining Association), annual networking events (ILT Sporting Clays Shoot), and direct relationships with specifying professional engineers — supported by an exclusive "No Unhappy Customers" Guarantee. There are no public funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors disclosed; the business operates on internally generated cash flow under founder ownership.

Direct peers

• Layfield Group: Direct competitor providing geomembrane fabrication and installation services across North America. Mentioned in ILT's customer list as a labor-brokerage partner, underscoring their parallel role as both collaborator and competitor in HDPE/PVC installation work.
• Geo-Con Inc. Specialty geotechnical and geosynthetic installation contractor performing landfill lining, slurry walls, and environmental containment. Operates in directly overlapping mining, landfill, and industrial containment verticals.
• Geo-Solutions Inc. Geotechnical contractor with deep geosynthetics installation practice including geomembranes, geotextiles, and soil-bentonite liners. Competes with ILT for environmental containment and landfill closure work.
• ACE Environmental: Specialized environmental construction firm performing landfill closure, geomembrane installation, and soil remediation. Closely comparable mid-sized installer competing on similar municipal and industrial containment bids.

Others

• Solmax: One of the world's largest geomembrane manufacturers (also owns the former Raven/Block brand). Larger, vertically integrated incumbent that both supplies materials to ILT and competes on large installation projects globally.
• CETCO (Minerals Technologies): Provides geosynthetic clay liners (GCL) and related containment materials that ILT installs. Functions primarily as a materials supplier with limited direct installation overlap, but its bundling of materials + services can pressure independent installers.

Broad incumbents

• Tensar International: Established geosynthetics manufacturer (geogrids, erosion control) with a North American installation footprint. Competes in adjacent erosion-control and ground-stabilization segments rather than core geomembrane lining.
• AGRU America: Global manufacturer of geomembranes, geonets, and drainage composites. Listed as a core ILT supplier and offers turnkey installation services through its own contracting arm, making it both partner and competitor.
• Propex GeoSolutions: Manufacturer of geotextiles, erosion control, and pavement restoration products. Larger, broader geosynthetics incumbent with overlapping raw-material supply and complementary installation capability.

Regional players

• Carolina Environmental Contracting: Southeastern U.S.-based specialty geosynthetics and landfill construction contractor. Performs similar HDPE and geotextile installation work but is regionally concentrated, complementing rather than directly competing with ILT's American West footprint.
