During its participation in NISTM 2025, Titan reaffirmed its position as a global leader in the use of industrial geosynthetics for environmental containment. In an interview with Daynan "Dee" Coleman, Regional Services Manager for the southern United States, details were revealed about its new patented innovation and some of the technical challenges its teams face in power plants and critical infrastructure.
Titan Environmental's participation in NISTM 2025, in addition to being a brand presence, is also a clear demonstration that the combination of engineering, field experience, and professional integrity can generate effective, safe solutions tailored to the current challenges of the industry.
Led by technical leaders such as Daynan Coleman, the company continues to develop technologies and methodologies that position industrial geosynthetics as an important tool for operational efficiency and environmental protection in strategic sectors.
Titan Environmental is not just a supplier of materials. Since its founding in 2006, it has evolved into a global company specializing in the installation, supply, and design of solutions based on geomembranes, geotextiles, and industrial polymers.
"We work on everything related to plastic in the world of tanks: secondary containment, linings, internal structures. But we do so with a technical, not a commercial, vision,"
explains Daynan Coleman.
One of the highlights was the versatility in the use of materials. Although HDPE remains the most widely used due to its broad chemical compatibility and resistance, the company offers solutions with other types of polyethylene and polyureas, tailored to the specific needs of each customer.
"We can supply basic components, but our real specialty is in projects that require a customized solution. We don't apply the same formula to all problems,"
says Coleman.
This technical diagnostic capability is one of the elements that sets Titan apart in the industrial geosynthetics sector.
During the interview, Daynan presented an innovation that is generating attention in the industry: a nonwoven geotextile with wicking capacity (moisture absorption and transport effect).
Although woven geotextiles already had this type of behavior, nonwoven geotextiles were an unresolved challenge. The company managed to develop a more economical and functional version that does not rely on gravity to operate, allowing liquids to be moved through horizontal or vertical structures, ideal for drainage systems, leachate control, or underground installations.
This new technology expands the range of applications in mining, agriculture, and energy projects, keeping costs low without sacrificing performance.
Among the most illustrative examples shared by Coleman is that of a biogas plant, where a bolted tank built five years ago was suffering from severe corrosion problems. The customer considered replacing the entire structure, an expensive and impractical solution for an active operation.
The company's proposal was to install a modular drop-in liner, a custom-designed internal structure that allowed the tank to regain its functionality without major interruptions or invasive civil works.
"We were able to return it to its original operation, and that feeds a generator at the plant."
emphasizing the real impact that a well-applied solution can have on the operational continuity of an energy facility.
Beyond technology, there is one value that Titan does not compromise on: integrity. Coleman was emphatic in pointing out that the company rejects projects when it considers that the requested solution is not appropriate for the problem.
"We are completely transparent. If a customer comes to us with an idea that we know won't work, we prefer to tell them to look for another option, even if that means losing the contract. That's something many others don't do,"
This approach has led to long-term relationships and a reputation that has opened doors in various international markets, from North America to projects in remote regions of the southern hemisphere.
