Base liner systems
Geomembranes are used as barrier layers beneath waste areas to limit the movement of leachate into the surrounding soil.
Landfill & waste containment
Geosynthetics are used in landfill and waste containment systems to control seepage, protect lining layers, collect leachate and separate soil from drainage media.
Typical applications include landfill base liners, side slopes, leachate collection systems, intermediate covers, final covers and waste containment ponds.
Where Geosynthetics Are Used
Landfill systems combine different geosynthetic materials across the liner, drainage and cover layers, with each material serving a specific containment, protection, filtration or drainage function.
Side slope liners
Geomembranes and protective geotextiles can extend the lining system along landfill side slopes and perimeter transitions.
Leachate collection
Drainage materials and geotextiles are used above or around the liner system to collect and direct leachate toward drainage points.
Geomembrane protection
Geotextiles can be placed above or below geomembranes to reduce the risk of puncture from aggregate, soil or construction activity.
Cover systems
Geomembranes, geotextiles and drainage materials can be incorporated into cover systems to limit infiltration, separate layers and drain surface or subsurface water.
Containment ponds
Geomembranes are used in leachate ponds, wastewater ponds and other containment areas where liquid migration must be controlled.
Main Engineering Functions
Landfill containment systems usually combine several geosynthetic functions within the same cross-section.
Containment
Geomembranes form low-permeability barriers that limit the migration of leachate, wastewater and other liquids.
Protection
Geotextiles provide cushioning around geomembranes where contact with soil, aggregate or other materials could damage the liner.
Drainage
Drainage materials provide pathways for leachate, groundwater or surface water to move toward collection points.
Filtration
Geotextiles retain soil particles while allowing water or leachate to pass into drainage layers.
Separation
Geotextiles help keep soil, drainage aggregate and other system layers from mixing during construction and service.
Liner connection
HDPE anchor plates provide a weldable connection point where HDPE lining systems terminate at or connect to concrete structures.
Typical Landfill & Waste Containment Applications
The liner, protection and drainage configuration varies with waste type, site conditions and the function of each containment area.
Municipal solid waste landfills
Geomembranes, geotextiles and drainage materials are used in base liners, side slopes, leachate collection systems and cover layers.
Industrial waste containment
Lining systems can be used where industrial waste or process residues require separation from surrounding soil and groundwater.
Hazardous waste facilities
Hazardous waste facilities may use multiple barrier, protection and drainage layers where the project specification requires a higher level of containment.
Leachate ponds
Geomembranes are used to line ponds and collection areas that temporarily store or manage landfill leachate.
Final cover systems
Final cover systems can combine geomembranes, geotextiles and drainage materials to limit infiltration and manage surface water.
Waste handling and treatment areas
Geosynthetic liners can be used beneath waste handling, transfer or treatment areas where spills, runoff or process liquids need to be contained.

How The Products Work Together
Containment systems depend on the interaction between barrier, protection, filtration and drainage layers rather than on a single product.
The final layer arrangement should follow the project design, waste type, site conditions and applicable specification.

Packing And Supply
Landfill projects often involve multiple roll products delivered to the same site. Packing, labeling and shipment planning should therefore be confirmed together with the product specifications and quantities.
Roll width, roll length and unit weight depend on the product type and specification.
Packing requirements can be confirmed according to the product type, shipment method and buyer requirements.
Product labels and order identification can be coordinated before packing and shipment.
Container planning should consider the dimensions, weight and loading sequence of geomembranes, geotextiles and other materials supplied for the same project.
Commercial and shipment documents are prepared according to the confirmed order and agreed export requirements.
Provide the destination country, port and required delivery period so shipment arrangements can be discussed during quotation.
