Australian landfill

Australia 2014

The landfill was built in 2014 in Australia. It covers an area of 60.000 m2, it measures 400 m long, 150 m wide and contains up to 3.3 million m3 stored materials.

A Geotess geotextile made of PP 1500 gr/sqm certified was installed under the EPDM geomembrane as an anti-punching. Tessilbrenta geotextiles are the ideal geotextile for the protection of geomembranes. It prevents direct contact between sharp stones and a membrane. The combination of product density and thickness reduces any stresses, which otherwise might puncture or tear the membrane. It reduces the harmful friction forces between drainage gravel and membranes on slopes. In-plane permeability of PP facilitates water and gas drainage.
