Main applications:
Environmental protection
Coletanche® is particularly well suited to the field of environmental protection :it has wide applications in industry and mining, for water Storage , lagoon systems, leaching ponds for various liquid and solid wastes ,for landfills with bottom ash and composts.
It is used to preserve water resources and protect soil from different sources of pollution and contamination.
Main areas of application :
Confinement of solid waste
Domestic waste – industrial waste – mining waste – green waste
Thanks to its resistance to chemical agents and easy installation, COLETANCHE® can be used to confine polluted chemical waste and landfills and it also prevents the spread of pollution through rain water.
Case study
Mining waste
The mining industry produces large quantities of waste which can not be recycled or reused. They are stored in heaps near the production site. COLETANCHE®( which may be grassed over) is frequently used to cover these heaps in a most effective way. COLETANCHE® thus prevents the pollution of natural water, streams and the water table.
Confinement of liquid waste
Tailing ponds - waste water
Thanks to its natural impermeability and its resistance to biological and chemical agents, COLETANCHE® can be used for the confinement of liquid waste. It is widely used for leaching ponds and provides an excellent solution for the containment of other types of liquid waste.
