TAILINGS CONTAINMENT CASE

HDPE Geomembrane Liner for a Tailings Project in South Africa

A practical look at large-area geomembrane deployment, welded seam continuity and seepage control in a tailings facility.

Project overview

A continuous containment barrier for a tailings facility

VABREN HDPE geomembrane was used to form a containment lining system at a tailings facility in South Africa. The liner helps separate tailings and process liquids from the supporting ground, while its weldability allows broad floor areas, slopes and transitions to operate as one continuous system.

01

Seepage control

A low-permeability barrier helps limit potential seepage paths.

02

Environmental resistance

The resin grade and specification can be matched to the medium and site exposure.

03

Inspect-able seams

Thermally welded seams can be tested and documented during installation.

Installation focus

Large-area deployment and seam quality control

The subgrade should be smooth, stable and free from sharp objects. Panel layout, temporary ballast, clean overlap zones, controlled welding parameters, seam testing and installation records are as important as the membrane itself.
