Geomembranes are extensively used in mining applications due to their durability, chemical resistance, and impermeability. Geomembranes are critical components in the construction of heap leach pads, where they contain the leaching solution and prevent it from contaminating the soil and groundwater.
Using an impermeable liner like a geosynthetic provides a reliable means of containing and managing potentially harmful materials. Additionally, geomembranes offer durability and flexibility which is essential in the dynamic and demanding conditions encountered in mining operations.
