Waste Storage Area Waterproofing
Waste Storage Area Waterproofing is an application aimed at creating areas where solid and liquid wastes can be stored without harming the environment. Examples include landfill sites, mining waste sites, ash storage facilities, and sludge pits.
The waterproofing and secure containment of waste is one of the most critical applications in the field of geosynthetics and geomembranes. Residues from mining, petroleum, and industrial activities carry high risks and possess toxic potential that can last for decades.
Geosynthetics and geomembranes used in waste storage area waterproofing must not only withstand long-term chemical and physical conditions but also meet the most stringent industry quality standards, ensuring durability and longevity.
Applications are carried out according to the characteristics of the project site and the type of waste, as failures in such projects can have catastrophic, long-term consequences and extremely high remediation costs.
The application of geosynthetics and geomembranes in waste storage waterproofing ensures the safe containment of waste by preventing direct contact with the ground, thereby protecting the soil and groundwater from contamination.
Procedures in waste storage area waterproofing are carried out according to the project site. Geotech Geomembranes, Jeotech Geotextiles, and, for elevating certain waste storage areas, Geocell, a Celltech Erosion Control product, are used.
