Mining
At mine sites, geomembranes have been primarily used as basal liners for heap leach and liquid containment facilities (drainage waters, process solutions, treatment ponds), and to some extent, for tailings and other solid waste storage facilities. Geogrids have been used to stabilize soft soils for road construction and mine tailings for placement of cover soils. HDPE pipes have been used for conveyance of runoff, drainage, and process waters, and/or for leak-detection systems around mine sites. OMALI has supplied and installed geosynthetic products at all major mines in Guatemala.
