LINERS FOR MINERS

Mining firms may sometimes require liners for short, medium or long-term use. DDT Liners can provide the products and/or services to suit your company’s requirements. Geosynthetics are playing an increasingly significant part in the development and operation of mining operations. Mine operations can use geosynthetic products for:

• Slope stabilization purposes

• Water Storage

• Chemical containment

• Sediment Control

• Drainage systems

Through our extensive supplier network, DDT Liners can source and connect you with a Fit for Purpose solution for your application.

SHORT TERM LINERS

Often these are a relatively compact size (e.g. 30m x 30m), factory pre-fabricated for quick installation, and they tend to be thinner gauge (e.g. 250 -300 micron), and relatively inexpensive.

DDT can meet the need, with 300 Um LDPE, or with CANVACON (reinforced PE). Quite large sheets can be prefabricated if required.

Please note: Because these membranes are thinner, and the seams are not usually “twin-track” [and are unable to be inflation-tested] the degree of “quality assurance” will usually be lower than that which can be given for a more robust, thicker liner. Having a woven supporting “scrim”, a CANVACON liner will usually be “safer” than a liner made from thin unsupported film.

MEDIUM TERM LINERS

LDPE, 0.5mm, or ENVIROLINER 0.75mm, or Polypropylene 0.5, or 0.75mm, usually with attractive UV warranties, can be readily supplied and prefabricated into single sheet sizes up to, say, 2,000 m2 or more.

LONGER TERM LINERS

Chemical resistance, long life, greater security, and trouble-free service in an often harsh environment, are the usual requirements, along with the need for a trustworthy installation.

DDT Liners have installed such liners at mine-sites in some of the most remote parts of Australia and elsewhere. We’ve lined tailings dams, leach pads, evaporation ponds, brine ponds, tank-farm bunds, contaminated material containment bunds, process-water dams; even a section of a diverted creek bed!
