Waterproofing of a Mining and Processing Plant Tailings Storage Facility

Tailings storage facility embankment waterproofing.

Construction of a containment liner capable of ensuring 100% watertightness of the facility.
The material providing complete watertightness and protection against erosion is "Geomembrane Type 1" — a smooth sheet made of virgin low-pressure polyethylene (HDPE).

At the customer's request, a white geomembrane was produced. It has light-reflective properties, prevents ultraviolet radiation from heating the surface, and prevents melting of the foundation soils. 
 

• Ease and speed of installation 
• Elimination of filtration losses 
• Prevention of erosion of the structure’s base and slopes
• Non-toxicity and environmental safety of the material
