NATURE OF INTERVENTION

Many modern landfills make use of ancillary storage facilities to contain contaminated liquids such as leachate and stormwater runoffs. These facilities are usually lined to protect the surrounding environment using geomembranes and other layer works.

These liners in turn need to be protected from exposure to atmospheric elements such as UV and from mechanical maintenance and cleaning methods. This is usually achieved by a covering layer placed throughout the basin, This covering layer often requires stabilizing, particularly on the steeper side slopes which aim to maximize storage capacities, and which often have poor interface friction themselves due to the underlying plastic liner.

Through the introduction of various  Geosynthetics products, to replace conventional construction materials, durability, cost and performance of composite liner systems has greatly improved leading to lower maintenance requirements, economising and improved efficiencies over extended design and operational lifespans.
