Project Details
Objective
Inland Green Energy aimed to create a sustainable energy facility that would harness the local resources efficiently while minimizing environmental impact. The installation of the HDPE geomembrane was crucial for the containment and management of industrial waste, ensuring no contamination of the surrounding land and water bodies.
Installation Process
The installation of the 8000 sqm of Ocean HDPE Geomembrane-1.5 mm was meticulously planned and executed. The process involved several critical steps to ensure the integrity and longevity of the geomembrane:
- Site Preparation: The installation site was thoroughly cleared and leveled. This step is vital to prevent any damage to the geomembrane from sharp objects or uneven surfaces.
- Liner Deployment: The geomembrane sheets were carefully unrolled and positioned. Given the large area, multiple sheets were used, and seams were welded using advanced thermal fusion techniques to ensure a watertight seal.
- Seam Inspection: Post-welding, each seam was inspected for continuity and strength. Non-destructive testing methods were employed to confirm the integrity of the seams.
- Anchor Trench: The edges of the geomembrane were secured in an anchor trench to prevent movement and ensure stability during the operational phase.
Challenges and Solutions
Terrain Adaptability
Ramgarh’s diverse terrain posed a challenge for the installation. The flexibility of Ocean HDPE Geomembrane allowed for easy adaptation to the undulating surface, ensuring a snug fit without compromising the material’s integrity.
Weather Conditions
Installation took place during the monsoon season, which introduced additional challenges such as heavy rainfall and muddy conditions. The HDPE geomembrane’s properties ensured that it could withstand the adverse weather, maintaining its performance and ease of installation.
Benefits of Using Ocean HDPE Geomembrane
Environmental Protection
One of the primary reasons Inland Green Energy chose Ocean HDPE Geomembrane-1.5 mm was its excellent barrier properties. The geomembrane effectively prevents contaminants from leaching into the soil and groundwater, thereby protecting the local environment.
Cost-Effectiveness
Despite its high performance, the geomembrane offers a cost-effective solution for large-scale projects. Its durability reduces the need for frequent replacements, thereby lowering the long-term maintenance costs.
Inland Green Energy’s Commitment to Sustainability
Inland Green Energy’s choice of HDPE geomembrane underscores their commitment to sustainable practices. By utilizing materials that are both effective and environmentally friendly, they are setting a benchmark for other companies in the renewable energy sector.
