What are the different applications for Construction ponds?

Constructions ponds have usage beyond construction projects. The use of these ponds helps construction companies and many other industries achieve their objectives.

  • First, these ponds help by making water available in a location where access to water does not exist or is unreachable due to regulations.
  • Secondly, they are helpful because they help companies in many industries remain in compliance with federal, state, and local agencies.
  • Third, ponds help to segregate water or liquids. You can separate clean water from treated or contaminated water, especially when the contaminates off-gas or settle before treatment occurs.

They can also be a cost-saving feature as they allow you to pump groundwater, in large volumes, when energy rates are less expensive. When groundwater is only available in small rations (low gallon-per-hour), ponds will enable you to amass larger water quantities for your project by pumping longer and slower.

The application of construction ponds includes:

  • Storage of water for use in construction areas, agricultural areas, and where there is a need for large amounts of water.
  • Water storage, especially in places where water is not available or where usage is restricted.
  • Allow for the safe storage of contaminated water, such as water with fertilizer, water tainted with heavy metals and during hazmat site cleanup.
  • Storage of water treated with pesticides or herbicides for agricultural use.
  • Storage of wastewater or process water including sewer, industrial applications, and mine runoff.
  • Storage of water for use during wildfire season for fire prevention or suppression operations. These ponds allow helicopters and tanker trucks to refill without driving to municipalities.
  • Mixing ponds, especially for agriculture applications, separate mixed water from clean water. These ponds are needed to help with the application of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides.
  • Serve as collection ponds for industries that produce wastewater during processing, mining, or other activities.

Once the intended pond use is established, then pond design and geomembrane selection can be determined. The many liner options available at BTL Liners allow you to customize a construction pond to fit your industry and remain compliant to local, state and federal regulations.
