The liner forms the base containment barrier of the project’s landfill, keeping leachate out of the soil and groundwater. ## Project overview **Project Name:** Integrated Solid Waste Management Project at Avaragolla, Davanagere **Product Used:** Ocean HDPE Liner-1500 micron **Quantity Used:** 16,080 Sqm ## Challenges 1. **Leachate control:** the existing waste disposal methods risked leachate contaminating soil and groundwater. 2. **Landfill integrity:** the landfill had to stay structurally sound, without soil erosion or waste escaping into the surrounding area. 3. **Regulatory compliance:** environmental regulations required an engineered waste containment system. ## Why a 1500 micron HDPE liner Ocean Non Wovens worked with the project stakeholders on a containment system built around Ocean HDPE Liner-1500 micron, chosen for its strength, durability and impermeability. The thickness is not arbitrary. India’s Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 call for a sanitary landfill base liner that is a composite barrier: a 1.5 mm HDPE geomembrane, or equivalent, over 90 cm of compacted clay or amended soil with a permeability no greater than 1 × 10⁻⁷ cm/s. The geomembrane is the primary barrier; the clay beneath limits flow through any defect that does occur. HDPE is used because it resists the acids, salts and organic compounds in municipal leachate, and its stress-crack resistance suits it to decades under a waste load. ## Implementation 1. **Site assessment:** Ocean Non Wovens assessed the site to understand the specific challenges and environmental conditions at Avaragolla. 2. **Liner layout:** the Ocean HDPE Liner-1500 micron panel layout was planned to fit the contours of the landfill and give complete coverage. 3. **Installation:** Ocean Non Wovens’ technicians installed the liner following standard industry practice. On a landfill base, standard practice means panels joined by dual hot-wedge welds and air-pressure tested, extrusion welds at details vacuum-box tested, destructive seam samples checked for shear and peel strength, and the liner anchored in a perimeter trench. A nonwoven [geotextile](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/products/geotextile-manufacturers/) protection layer over the geomembrane and the leachate drainage layer above it protect the sheet from puncture once waste placement begins. ## Outcomes 1. **Leachate containment:** the impermeable liner prevents leachate migration and protects soil and groundwater. 2. **Landfill stability:** the liner contributes to the stability of the landfill and prevents soil erosion. 3. **Regulatory compliance:** the project met the applicable environmental regulatory standards. Ocean Non Wovens supplies HDPE liners, geotextiles and related geosynthetics for municipal and industrial landfills.
