Addressing potential issues like settling or ground movement in land-based containment requires careful planning and engineering considerations. To prevent settling, proper soil compaction during the construction of containment berms or dikes is essential. Additionally, using stable materials with sufficient load-bearing capacity helps maintain the integrity of the containment system.
Monitoring equipment, such as settlement gauges, can help promptly detect undesirable ground movements. Regular inspections and maintenance are critical to identifying and addressing settling or movement issues early. If ground movement is a concern, flexible or reinforced containment barriers can be employed to accommodate minor shifts without compromising containment effectiveness. Proper drainage systems should also be incorporated to prevent water accumulation contributing to ground instability.
