Landfill Liner Systems
Landfill liner systems are governed strictly by law. The second revised edition dealing with the approval of geomembranes for landfill liner systems and waste treatment is available via the Federal Institute´s for Materials Research and Testing since September 1999.
In short, this guideline comprises the demands of the production of geomembranes, the preparation of the ground concerning the installation of the capping system, the geomembrane´s installation itself and the geotextile protective layer as well.
The welding works and the production control tests are regulated by the German DVS guideline no. 2225 part 4 in-depth.
On a European level, the guidelines of the the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) are the most comprehensive ones. They deal with all the details concerning the installation of safe landfill liner systems. Welding and controlling works are regulated by the DVS guideline 2225 part 4.
We would like to remark that the German DVS guidelines are very illustrative and that they contain many constructive details and plenty of important information. You can get further tipps concerning technichal texts via our links page.
So much for theory. Take a look at photos taken at our landfill liner construction sites.
