Liners for Miners
Mining firms may sometimes require liners for short, medium or long term use. DDT Liners can provide the products and/or services to suit your company’s requirements.
Short Term Liners
Often these are relatively compact size (eg 30m x 30m), factory
pre-fabricated for quick installation, and they tend to be thinner gauge (eg. 250 -300 micron), and relatively inexpensive.
DDT can meet the need, with 300 Um LDPE, or with CANVACON (reinforced PE). Quite large sheets can be prefabricated if required.
Please note: Because these membranes are thinner, and the seams are not usually “twin-track” [and are unable to be inflation-tested] the degree of “quality assurance” will usually be lower than that which can be given for a more robust, thicker liner. Having a woven supporting “scrim”, a CANVACON liner will usually be “safer” than a liner made from thin unsupported film.
Medium Term Liners
LDPE, 0.5mm , or ENVIROLINER 0.75mm , or Polypropylene 0.5, or 0.75mm, usually with attractive UV warranties, can be readily supplied and prefabricated into single sheet sizes up to , say, 2,000 m2 or more.
Longer Term Liners
HDPE is the usual “weapon of choice” – in gauges from 1.5mm up to 3.00mm.
Chemical resistance, long life, greater security, and trouble-free service in an often harsh environment, are the usual requirements, along with the need for a trustworthy installation.
DDT Liners have installed such liners at mine-sites in some of the most remote parts of Australia and elsewhere. We’ve lined tailings dams, leach pads, evaporation ponds, brine ponds, tank-farm bunds, contaminated material containment bunds, process-water dams; even a section of a diverted creek bed!
Please note: State and Federal Regulations regarding dam/pond design and construction, and dam linings, may apply in many mining situations.
If required, DDT Liners can recommend qualified and experienced Designers for Civil Works including comprehensive liner systems.
