INDUSTRY NEWS
Platipus Earth Anchors Used for Exposed Geomembrane Cover (EGC) on 175 Acre Landfill
The EGC design specified an 1.5mm HDPE geomembrane liner secured with Platipus Percussive Driven Earth Anchors (PDEA®) as a cost-effective and easily installed alternative to traditional vertical trenching. The Platipus Anchor assembly was manufactured with components to meet the holding capacity and 20-year design life required by Geosyntec Consultants/MES in this highly corrosive environment. The anchor was driven through the liner and into 1.2 – 1.5m of compacted waste. Once the anchor assembly was fully installed and tested, a HDPE patch was placed over to create an impermeable system.
