Geomembranes help in the rehabilitation of mining sites by providing effective containment solutions that prevent further environmental contamination and aid in restoring the site to a safer, more stable condition. During the rehabilitation process, geomembranes are used to cap tailings piles, waste rock dumps, and other contaminated areas. This isolates harmful substances and prevents their migration into the surrounding environment.
Containment of these materials is essential in order to control dust, reduce erosion, and minimize leachate generation. Geomembranes can also be incorporated into the construction of wetlands, ponds, and other water management systems designed to treat contaminated water and support the re-establishment of natural habitats.
