Landfill Storage Cell Compartments

Drainage of clay cell foundations

The soils supporting the geomembrane sealing systems must be stable and drained to prevent any damage.

Draining bases, drainage trenches can be executed easily and quickly with sheets and a needle-punched nonwoven composite with a network of mini-drains: teradrain®

Typical applications

  • Landfill capping
  • Landfill sideslope lining
  • Slope stabilisation
  • Landfill basal lining
  • Dewatering ponds

Benefits

  • Create more landfill volume
  • Reduced excavation and backfill
  • Fast and easy installation
  • Factory consistent performance
  • Defined filtration performance
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Protection for geomembrane liners

Storage cell waterproofing 

Waterproofing is a demanding function which allows no approximation. A hole the size of a one euro coin will let through about one cubic metre of water per hour. The system design, choice of product, laying method and quality of the installation team are decisive.

HDPE geomembrane liners are heat-sealable products allowing exhaustive quality control of sealing.

Protection of the geomembrane liner underneath basin landfill cell

The geomembrane liner must be protected from the draining base at the bottom of the compartment by a thick, needle-punched, nonwoven puncture-resistant geotextile, bontec® Protec 600 g to 2,000g with a non-destructive earthworks technique.

Puncture resistance and part of the draining base can be advantageously and economically implemented with a needle-punched nonwoven composite with a network of mini-drains: teradrain®.

Protection of the geomembrane on embankments and slopes

On embankments and slopes, puncture resistance and part of the draining base can be advantageously and economically implemented with a needle-punched nonwoven composite with a network of mini-drains: teradrain® UV resistant.
