Geosynthetics in Mining Applications
Mining sites are demanding environments where heavy equipment loads, aggressive chemicals and harsh climate conditions all come together. Leach pads, waste storage facilities and process ponds must protect both production efficiency and environmental safety, side by side, for many years.
Geomas geosynthetic solutions combine geomembranes and geosynthetic clay liners to form a continuous sealing barrier across the site base. Groundwater and soil are shielded from process solutions and waste leachate, while the facility meets the impermeability criteria required by environmental regulations.
Drainage composites enable the controlled collection of the leach solution, improving recovery efficiency, while geogrid reinforcements raise the load-bearing capacity of haul roads and slopes. High-tensile geotextiles protect the geomembrane against sharp rock fill, preserving the integrity of the system for years.
Every site is different in its geology, ore structure and climate. That is why we select products based on the project's geotechnical data rather than a standard catalog. At the closure and rehabilitation stage, we also deliver long-term solutions with cover systems. The result: a safer, compliant and more efficient mine site.
The Geomas Difference in Mining
- Applied in leach pads and tailings ponds.
- Protects the ore, the environment and the investment together.
- Minimizes the risk of leakage.
- Safeguards groundwater and soil.
- Reduces site cost and construction time.
- Improves solution recovery efficiency.
- Raises the load-bearing capacity of haul roads.
- Strengthens slope stability and site safety.
Products
BentoShield's technology effectively combines the swelling performance of sodium bentonite granules or bentonite powder with two high-strength geotextiles.
Geomembranes are used for surface protection and insulation; they are geosynthetic sheets made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that can be smooth, single-sided, and/or double-sided textured.
TechTex C is a heat-treated, black, nonwoven geotextile material produced by needling high-strength 0 pure polypropylene fibers.
The GeoDrain product family is a composite material consisting of a polymer drainage core combined with a nonwoven geotextile that provides protection and filtration on one or both sides.
TechGrid© are high-strength and extremely flexible geogrids with a proven track record in soil reinforcement. They are coated with PVC or PVA depending on the soil structure where they will be used.
