    AQUATAIN LINING SYSTEMS INNOVATORS S&S PACESETTERS IN GEOMEMBRANES SINCE 1966 INTRODUCTION Geomembranes are very low-permeability, durable synthetic polymer gs that replace concrete, clay and steel in water-retai applications... and they cost less.. saat, 20801781 ~*5A Pat No, 2008102436, Foreign Patents Pending, Aquatan (Pty) Ltd was founded by Clifford Gundle (a South African geomembrane pioneer) as a specialist Geomembrane contracting company in 1961 ‘Over 35 000 000m of our various Geomembranes and Geosynthetic Clay Liners have been laid since then, This makes Aquatan the most successful company of its type in Africa. Having professionally serviced a widespread customer base includ- ing the mining, municipal, industrial, waste, agricultural, aqua-culture, building and public services sectors of the market, we can confidently provide our clients with reliable and economical solutions to most Geomembrane requirements by drawing ‘on this vast history of practical experience. Product names such as HI-DRILINE®; DRILINE®; HYPERLINER®; HI-DRAIN® (perforated and non-perforated); ARMTAN-K®; AQUADAM®; FLOATAROOF®, BENTOMATS, and the patented Aquatan ENHANCED BARRIER SYSTEMO™ have become synonymous with quailty throughout the whole of Africa. ‘The technology to produce these materials and to join and seal them into reliably engineered watertight structures has been exported to North America and Attica, ‘and from there to the rest of the world. Due to decades of experience- Aquatan possesses the required engineering and ‘supervision skills, to provide detailed engineering for any lining system from low technology small farm dam design to complex major multiple and composite Geo- synthetic liner engineering design projects. Expertly constructed with our state-of- the-art, internationelly patented welding technologies and our ISO 8001 accredited Program for Quality. ur sphere of operation is not only restricted to South Aftica. We have successfully ‘completed major Geosynthetic projects in many other countries including countries ‘on the Aftican Continent, Israel, Seychelles, Vietnam, Caribbean Islands, United ‘Arab Emirates, and further afield. Driven by our commitment to provide state-of-the-art materials, systems and serv- ice which meet the most challenging requirements of our clients, itis Aquatan’s intention to remain at the forefront of Geosynthetic Technology so maintaining the reputation of being reliable and professional innovators and pacesetters in Geomembrane technology. NINN are e ee ela) g rot ete ait 7 tay WATER CONSERVATION South Africa is a water deficit country. The climate varies from desert to semi-desert in the west, to relatively wet in the east- em parts adjacent to the Indian Ocean, Compared to the rest of the world our country and our continent have a very low, Unreliable and unpredictable rainfall pattem. ‘The utilization of Geosynthetic lining materials to contain water has become a globally accepted practice. The durability and quality of Aquatan's unique materials (some in service for over forty years now) guarantees our clients the use of the very best ‘geosynthetics that money can buy. 5 our water sources become more precious everyday, we can ill afford to take any chances with this valuable commod- ity. With our internationally patented welding technologies our customers have the peace of mind that whatever they place Into their dams will stay there for years to come. POLLUTION CONTROL Apart from raw and potable water, Aquatan geosynthetics can contain the most hazardous and aggressive liquid and solid waste that industry can produce ~ safely With the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry's minimum requirements being extremely stringent, the use of geosyn- ‘thetic composite liners for containment of highly toxic effluents has become essential. With a geosynthetic composite lining system all aspects ofthe lining system can be engineered with Precision. No more unknowns. Aquatan's range of materials adheres to all relevant local and international standards guar- anteeing a lining system that will outlast the pollutants con- tained. CONCRETE RESERVOIRS ‘Aquatan is able to successfully rehabiltate existing, and also line new concrete reservoirs, Our Ethy! Vinyl Acetate (EVA) has the ability to accommodate a certain amount of move- ment and it is considerably more flexible than alternative products. Its superior flexibility, ability to adhere, and ability ‘to accommodate substantial movement makes it extremely suitable for the waterproofing of existing and new reservoirs. It is known that existing reservoirs tend to crack due to dif ferential settlement over the years of their service life. With ‘Aquatan's EVA geomembrane we can cost effectively give these old structures a new lease on lfe. This superior materi- al, coupled with Aquatan’s vast experience in reservorr lining ives us the edge our clients have become accustomed to. INNOVATORS & PACESETTERS IN GEQMEMBRANES “VASTE MANAGEMENT, LEACH PADS LANDFILL CAPPINGS ‘After @ landfil (be it 2 general waste landfil or hazardous waste landfil) has reached the end of its service life itis required to be closed (capped). At Aqua- | tan we ensure that we constantly remain up to date withthe latest available | technology. This enables us to offer considerable advice from the design stage to seeing the project through fo construction of the final product. Due to this fact we have successfully capped various landfil sites (commercial and indus- trial), utilzing a wide variety in type and colour of our materials, contributing towards a safe and harmless environment for the surrounding communities. Capping materials are available in various textures and colours to blend in with the environment, BASAL LANDFILL LINING All Aquatan_geomembranes meet and exceed the local revised SANS 26:2003 (Thermoplastics sheeting for use es a Geomembrane) and the nyemationally recognized GRI GM standards and specifications. Aquatan Geomembranes are installed in accordance with the installation guideline ‘SANS10408:2004 (Design, selection and installation of Geomembranes).. From single lined general waste to multiple composite liner systems for highly hazardous waste, Aquatan has got the correct materials and knowiedge to produce an effective and expertly engineered solution. Leach Pads have become a very popular and cost effective method of extract- ing gold and a variety of other precious minerals from ore. Generally a solution is sprayed on crushed mineral bearing ore to extract the desired precious min- feral, The function of our Geomembranes, in this instance mainly High Density Polyethylene (HI-DRILINE6) isto intercept the solution pregnant with the de- sired mineral and also to prevent the solution from seeping into the earth and contaminating the soivaquifers. ‘Aquatan’s ISO 9001 accreditation resulted in a detailed quality assurance pro- gramme, which ensures that the client receives a final geomembrane lining product that meets the design objectives. INNOVATORS & PACESETTERS IN GEQMEMBRANES GUND LINERS & FLOATING COVERS SECONDARY CONTAINMENT (BUND LINERS) ‘Geomembranes are used as primary containment in tank linings as well as for sec- ‘ondary containment as bund lining. ‘Secondary containment is achieved in most chemicalol tank situations by building ‘a storage facility (tank) inside @ reservoir - in this case called a ‘bund’ - which has sufficient capacty to contain the contents of the tank should it leak or fal, Bund lining materials must have a chemical resistance suitable for containing the stored product plus the strength and other required environmental resistances for long term exposure to the atmosphere where the bund is located (as the bunds ‘stand empty all their life), For this reason, Aquatan’s HL-DRILINE® and other spe-
