Tailings Dam Project in Zambia

Tailings Dam Project in Zambia

Sep 12, 2025

 

Project Background & Challenges 

The project was located in Zambia’s Copperbelt region, an area with heavy rainfall and complex soil conditions. The tailings dam needed a reliable waterproofing system to prevent contaminants from entering groundwater. Uneven terrain and weak soil structure made sealing and compaction difficult.

 

Technical Solution

Nuokun Geosynthetics provided a double-layer HDPE geomembrane system (1.5mm + 2.0mm) with protective geotextile. This combination offered flexibility, UV resistance, and strong anti-seepage performance, ideal for tropical conditions.

 

 

Installation & Construction

 

The geomembranes were welded using dual-track hot wedge machines. Anchor trenches were used for slope fixation. Over 50,000m² were installed within 25 days under Nuokun’s technical supervision.

 

Inspection & Quality Verification

Every welding seam underwent air pressure and vacuum box testing per ASTM standards. Final inspection showed zero leakage and perfect sealing quality.

 

Client Feedback & Project Value

After six months of operation, the dam showed excellent waterproofing performance. The system reduced seepage risks and long-term maintenance costs.
