Closing or reclaiming mining sites require geomembranes in order to ensure long-term environmental stability and safety. Geomembranes are used to cap tailings ponds, waste rock piles, and other contaminated areas, effectively sealing in hazardous materials and preventing them from leaching into the soil and groundwater.
This containment is essential for reducing ongoing environmental impact and protecting surrounding ecosystems. Geomembranes also facilitate the re-vegetation process by providing a stable base that supports soil cover and plant growth, promoting the restoration of natural landscapes.
