Geosynthetics in mining and landfill applications

Landfill capping,Steep slope containment,Mine haul roads

Landfill capping

An excellent system for confining the soil cover and protecting the membrane below without the need to puncture it. It can be used for steep slope capping allowing for better utilisation of available land. For large mining overburden dumps and tailing dams, Can be used to protect the slopes utilizing mining waste or debris.

Steep slope containment

Steep slope solutions  can be very effectively and safely used to maximize land use for embankments for landfills and tailings dams.  landfills and dams can be built taller and allow for higher utilisation of airspace for storing waste in the same land footprint. Vertical expansion of existing landfills using  reinforced soil solutions is very safe and durable while providing excellent cost benefits. 

Mine haul roads

Access roads leading to mine sites are generally not well maintained and have soft soil. Poor access roads lead to lower efficiency and reduced turnaround times for vehicles. Ground improvement solutions help in improving the bearing capacity of subgrades, reduce differential settlements, are easy and rapid to construct, can be engineered for site-specific challenges and can make use of locally available materials.
