Stabilization of steep slopes of a landfill -
Stabilization of embankments of a landfill, covered with Geomembranes The challenge Construction of a cover of a landfill with geomembranes, in order to avoid possible penetration of water, was very complicated. The plan was to install geomembranes all around the area. Above the geomembranes a cover of local vegetated soil should be installed. Slope with a steep inclination Steep slopes of ...

GTI cover system helps Vallejo sanitation and flood control district streamline its plant operation - case study
Geomembrane Technologies Inc. (GTI) was selected to design and build a new retractable, structurally supported geomembrane cover system for Vallejo. This cover system consisted of a composite sheet of high-strength, coated fabric tensioned across a series of low-profile aluminum arches which span the tank opening. Intermediate aluminum walkways spanning the tank were used to divide the fabric ...

Specifying allowable leakage rates
Introduction Allowable Leakage Rates or Action Leakage Rates (ALRs) are specified for installed geomembranes to quantify the maximum allowable liquid leakage. If the ALR is exceeded, corrective action must be taken to reduce the leakage rate below the set limit. To lower the leakage, the holes in the geomembrane are located and repaired. In some cases, the ALR is set so low that, if exceeded, ...

Solar energy landfill caps
Things weren’t going well at the Erewhon Landfill. It was time to close the facility, and there was no soil left onsite for construction of the cap. Erewhon was a County facility, and the money available for 30 years of post-closure gas monitoring, groundwater sampling and reporting, erosion repairs and maintenance of a grass cover was sorely needed elsewhere. The landfill manager recalled ...

Protecting Environmental Geomembrane Covers With Suspended GEOWEB Geocells
Economic pressure, the desire for green solutions, and the intensification of climate extremes have converged to create a need for better methods to effect soil stabilization. Fortunately, a proven technology exists that addresses issues associated with these conditions and provides a more stable cover solution for landfill covers, lagoons, stormwater containment basins and other geomembrane ...

Enhanced Geomembrane CQA through proper application of geomembrane leak location surveys
Abstract Historically, geomembrane construction quality assurance (CQA) has focused on destructive testing of welded seams to verify seam strength and integrity. Paradoxically, seams are not subject to significant stress and practically never fail in service, while holes and construction damage in the geomembrane are a much more widespread problem. The historical approach fails to evaluate how ...

Experience with GCLs used as a conductive layer in geomembrane leak-location surveys
Engineers, installers, regulators, and owners are starting to rely on geomembrane leak-location surveys as part of the construction quality assurance for landfills. The various methods are described in ASTM Standard D 6747.' Standard procedures for conducting leak-location surveys of geomembranes covered with earth materials are described in ASTM Standard D 7007.2 Figure 1 shows the principle of ...

How Long Does Geomembrane Cover Last for Landfill Sites?
Covering geomembrane is a very important part of landfills, its main purpose is to control diseases, flying garbage, odor, improve road traffic, and improve the landscape. disease control. Reduce mosquito habitat and prevent solid waste from becoming a site for various harmful organisms. Prevent fires in landfill piles, or reduce the likelihood of fire spreading. Anti-scattering control helps ...

Locating Leaks in Geomembrane Liners of Landfills Covered With a Protective Soil
ABSTRACT The electrical leak location method was used to locate leaks in the geomembrane liners of single-lined and double-lined landfills covered with a protective soil cover. The landfills ranged in size from 0.40 hectare (one-acre) to 3.2 hectares (eight-acre). Water in the leak detection system under the primary liner indicated the primary liners were leaking. The principal of the electrical ...

Designing A Better Alternative for Post-Closure Care
After a landfill has reached the end of its service phase, federal law requires owners to install a final soil cover and maintain it over the next 30 years. This is the traditional strategy that most landfill owners employ and represents a significant cost of business. When all the layers are tallied together, the capping and post-closure period can cost up to $400,000 for a small, 100-acre ...

What is Geomembrane used for in Civil Engineering?
Geomembranes are synthetic materials used extensively in civil engineering for various applications related to containment, environmental protection, and water management. They are typically made of polymers like high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and other flexible materials. Geomembranes serve several critical functions in civil ...

The Importance of Geomembrane in Water Conservancy Projects
Water conservancy projects refer to construction activities to regulate, control, and use water resources. In water conservancy projects, geomembranes play a vital role.Geomembrane is an anti-penetration material made of polymer materials with excellent anti-permeability properties and mechanical strength.PE Pond Liner Dam Liners Manufacturers First of all, geomembranes can prevent water waste. ...

Detection and Location of Leaks in Geomembrane Liners Using an Electrical Method: Case Histories
ABSTRACT A field-proven electrical technique, developed at Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas, is commercially available to detect and locate leaks in geomembrane liners. The electrical technique is used to inspect 100% of the geomembrane material that is covered by a conducting liquid. A voltage applied across the liner produces a uniform electrical potential distribution in the ...

Landfill Capping Systems: An Introduction to Options
Geomembranes, predominately linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), have been used for landfill caps for decades. Waste Management World has noted how,” Generally they have performed extremely well but, not unexpectedly, there have been a few exceptions that have guided us in developing even better systems.” Currently, there are four commonly used options for landfill caps, each with ...

Case study - Upgrading highly loaded waste ponds to “Bio-Gas Banks”
Problem: Un-covered anaerobic systems can generate significant amounts of odors and renewable energy in the form of methane. The sulfides and methane are lost to the atmosphere due to lack of an impermeable barrier. If the basins were covered, the biogas could be captured, burned and converted to electricity and odors contained. A Missouri project, believed to be the largest and most ...

How do you connect HDPE Liner
For HDPE geomembrane connection methods, we introduce our welding method: the hot welding method. The hot welding method is the surface heating treatment of the PE geomembrane so that the surface is melted, and then the geomembrane is fused into a whole through pressure, and the geomembrane is laid along a certain direction. Firstly is the preparations before welding : 1.we should prepare the ...

HDPE Landfill Cover Liner for Landfill Project in China
Landfill cover liner, also HDPE geomembrane landfill liner. The landfill anti-seepage system is an important part of the solid waste landfill liners. It is used to isolate the landfill liners from the inside and outside, to prevent the leachate from polluting the groundwater and surface water, and to prevent off-site water from entering the landfill liners. The landfill liners must be ...

Closure Options for Impoundments and Landfills
In Kentucky, a county board votes to shut down a landfill that had long been the source of odor complaints from nearby residents. In Hawaii, residents push a city council to expedite a delayed landfill closure. Outside Beirut, Lebanon, protesters try to block trucks entering a landfill they say should have been closed a week earlier. These events, while certainly newsworthy, obscure the fact that ...
