BAM Mandates that Only a Relatively Thick 2.5 mm HDPE be used in Liner Systems in Germany
The geomembrane is used in a single composite configuration and can only be made via the wide mouth die case process. It needs to be a monolithic layer of HDPE and cannot be a blended or layered material. The agency’s perspectives on geomembrane durability, service life and end of life is that all materials used in lining system need to exhibit 100 year performance.

Sulphur Springs Project, WA,Design & Construction of Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) with a combined High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and compacted low permeability sub-base liner
Planned construction includes a copper heap leach facility within the same valley storage area as the TSF. The heap leach pad design included a combined HDPE and compacted low permeability sub-base liner. The HDPE liner will be welded to the TSF liner to form a continuous liner under the entire heap leach / TSF facility area.
