Geomembranes are used to line mining containment structures, such as tailings ponds and heap leach pads. By providing an impermeable barrier between mining waste and the environment, geomembranes prevent pollutants, such as heavy metals and acids, from infiltrating into soil and groundwater.
Geomembranes used in mining applications are engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of mining sites, including chemical exposure, UV radiation, and mechanical stresses. Geomembranes can also help manage onsite water resources by controlling seepage and runoff.
