Environmental Protection Structures

Environmental Protection

Environmental and environmental protection issues, particularly the management of municipal solid and industrial waste, are more relevant than ever. We are actively involved in environmental protection projects and supply 90% of our product range for them.

We continuously develop innovative technical solutions that are used at environmental protection facilities across the country.

Geosynthetics for Municipal Solid and Industrial Waste Landfills

A comprehensive approach is our key to successful work on environmental protection facilities such as municipal solid and industrial waste landfills. To prevent toxic substances contained in landfill leachate from entering the soil, reliable landfill waterproofing using geosynthetic materials must be provided during waste disposal.

However, landfill waterproofing alone is no longer sufficient today, so we have gone further and, without exaggeration, address any challenges in this field:

• Comprehensive remediation of municipal solid waste landfills
• Installation of an active degassing system for the removal and utilisation of biogas
• Installation of a leachate collection system
• Sheet pile structures embedded into the aquiclude
• Construction of reinforced-soil retaining walls
• Landscaping and planting of remediated landfills
• Construction of new municipal solid waste landfills
• Creation of temporary waste storage areas
• Installation of leachate and drainage water collection tanks
• Construction and remediation of storage facilities for liquid waste of hazard classes I–V
• Installation of treatment facilities for leachate and mine water

By 2020, TECHPOLYMER had completed or remediated more than 40 municipal solid waste disposal facilities using in-house geosynthetic materials and advanced structural solutions developed by our specialists.

Our extensive range of materials enables us to address the waterproofing of landfills and leachate storage tanks, reinforcement of landfill slopes and access roads, landfill leachate drainage, and protection of groundwater from the harmful effects of municipal solid waste.

A comprehensive approach makes it possible to secure a landfill and minimise its impact on the environment, practically reducing it to zero.

Advantages of using geosynthetics in the industry

• Geosynthetic materials made from virgin raw materials offer high resistance to rotting, corrosion, and chemical compounds, making them best suited for contact with waste of various types.
• Geosynthetics withstand temperature fluctuations and are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, so they can be used even in challenging climatic conditions.
• The materials can be installed without specialised equipment, significantly reducing construction costs.
• The service life of geosynthetic materials is at least 50 years.
