project Background
With the expansion of mining operations, the safety and environmental performance of tailings ponds have become increasingly important. A copper mine tailings project in Africa was located in a region with complex topography and high rainfall. To prevent seepage of tailings and contamination of groundwater, the client chose Nuokun High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Geomembrane System to ensure efficient seepage control and long-term stability.
