Geosynthetic Technology Limited (GT) based in the U.K.,operates internationally and has carried out projects in more than 37 countries on 5 continents. They have specialised for more than 40 years in the supply and installation of geomembrane linings and associated geosynthetic materials.
Many projects accomplished by GT are world class such as the world’s largest lined lagoon 1,400,000m² in Kazakhstan for ENI Agip Petroleum; the world’s largest landfill at Jubail, Saudi Arabia for the Royal Commission and the large artificial lake inside the stadium for the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Athens in 2004.
According to Geosynthetic Technology Limited Director John Alexander C.Eng currently their products are available in the African market and have been already installed in West African countries.
John added that for hot climates like in Africa they particularly advocate the use of Polypropylene (PP) geomembrane lining material. PP liner is much more thermally stable than HDPE, such that site seams are not stressed day to night. PP also has superb puncture resistance, and enables fast site-seaming to be carried out.
A particular feature of the geomembrane installation services offered by GT is to provide the client with skilled GT technicians to work with local unskilled labour and plant to supervise the deployment and seam welding of the geomembrane sheet including all necessary QA/QC requirements.
An example of this service is the lining of the wastewater lagoon in Senegal, West Africa for the contractor Dawnus as part of the Grande Cote Mineral Mining Project.
Geosynthetic materials and specialist equipment were shipped by GT from the U.K. in containers. Just one skilled and experienced GT technician supervised the installation and carried out all of the skilled sheet welding and waterproof fixing around concrete structures. The work was completed in 8 days.
GT is actively seeking further work opportunities in Africa where its exceptional knowledge and capabilities can be put to good use.
