GSE HD geomembrane lined salt ponds ensure long-term brine containment
GSE® HD geomembrane lined over 3.4 million m² of evaporation ponds to prevent brine seepage under extreme heat and UV exposure. This continuous barrier eliminated salt discharge and protected the surrounding environment.
Jefferson Coal Slurry Impoundment Closure
In Jefferson County, Alabama, MIRAFI® CR440 was used with CCR fill to create a reinforced construction platform over soft fine coal refuse, supporting safe equipment access and efficient coal slurry impoundment closure.
Ensuring secure tailings containment at Saudi Arabia’s Umm Wu’al Phosphate Project
Solmax supplied 900,000 m² of double-sided GSE® HD FrictionFlex geomembrane for Maaden’s Umm Wu’al tailings ponds in Saudi Arabia, meeting strict quality controls and ensuring flawless containment in extreme conditions.
The NLEX-Ciudad de Victoria Interchange project aimed to improve mobility and accessibility in Bulacan, connecting Bocaue, Sta. Maria, Pandi, Norzagaray, Angat, and nearby towns. The bridge abutment construction had to be completed within a tight deadline of less than 10 months, and the challenge was that the abutment needed to be built on soft foundation soil.
Design & Construction:
To meet these requirements, the chosen design for the project was a Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall using MIRAFI® Polyfelt PEC Series composite geotextile. This system allowed the use of on-site soil backfill, as the composite geotextile had excellent drainage properties and could reinforce finer-grained soils. The installation process was straightforward, involving laying the geotextile horizontally on the prepared surface with slight tensioning, followed by placing and compacting the backfill soil.
The Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall system proved to be the preferred choice for both designers and contractors. Its advantages included an easy and rapid construction technique, superior performance properties of the geocomposite, and cost-effectiveness.
