Transitioning from 30 MIL PVC geomembrane to 60 MIL HDPE
February 1, 2023 | Q&A: GMA Techline
Q:I have a client that operates a Subtitle C landfill that utilizes a double-liner system of 30 mil (0.76mm) PVC geomembrane for the base liner. They are wanting to evaluate the possibility to transition from 30 mil (0.76 mm) PVC to 60 mil (1.52 mm) high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane for t…
Strength Reduction Of Geogrids Used In Reinforced Walls
February 1, 2023 | Q&A: GMA Techline
Q:At the moment there are two issues that create uncertainty with the use of PET fabrics and geogrids in the Netherlands. First, for many years we built pile-supported geosynthetic reinforced embankments (so-called piled mattresses to reduce settlements under embankments on soft soils). The fill is …
Geomembranes with better performance
February 1, 2023 | Q&A: GMA Techline
Q:We are researching liner alternatives for an industrial client that will have lined impoundments subject to high temperature influent (>140 degrees F), low pH (1 SU+/-), and may have organic contaminants. Are there any polyethylene geomembranes that meet these requirements?
