Landfill and Solid Waste Storage Areas
Landfill and solid waste storage areas are designated sites where household and industrial waste is safely collected and stored to prevent environmental harm. The design of these areas plays a crucial role in minimizing environmental risks, preventing leaks, and providing long-lasting solutions.
Geosynthetic Products Used and Their Functions:
- Geomembrane: Provides liquid and gas impermeability, preventing waste from leaking into the environment.
- Geotextile: Ensures filtration and drainage, offers mechanical protection, and regulates ground movements.
- Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL): Reinforced with bentonite clay, this material provides additional sealing.
- Geocell: Increases load-bearing capacity and stabilizes the ground.
- Geogrid: Strengthens soil and fill materials.
- Geonet: Facilitates drainage and water discharge.
- Geocomposite: Combines different geosynthetics to integrate impermeability and drainage features.
The integrated use of these products ensures that landfill and waste storage areas remain safe, environmentally friendly, and long-lasting. The selection of products and combinations depends on the project's technical requirements and site conditions.
