Landfill liners are designed and constructed to create a barrier between the waste that is dumped in the landfill and the ground below it. When a new landfill disposal area is constructed, referred to as a landfill cell, the geomembrane liner and other geosynthetic products are installed. Once these materials are placed, they are then seamed together and tested to verify that the seams do not contain leaks or weak points. These liner materials ensure that leachate is channeled properly through the landfill to a collection point rather than allowing leakage into the ground where it can become a hazard to groundwater and the surrounding environment.
Solid waste landfills are highly engineered containment systems that are designed to minimize the impact that waste (refuse, trash, and garbage) can do to the environment and human health. The geomembrane liner’s primary purpose is to isolate the landfill’s components from the environment and to ensure protection of the soil and groundwater.
Hallaton specializes in the sales and installation of the full spectrum of liner systems to meet the needs of its landfill customers. When considering a liner installer for a landfill, do the research and you’ll discover that Hallaton Inc. has an impressive track record for getting the job done with high quality and high efficiency.
OIL AND GAS – MARCELLUS SHALE
When selecting an installer for your next project, don’t just settle for anyone. We take pride in our work and look forward to showing you what we can do.
SECONDARY CONTAINMENT
While new geosynthetic lining technology often offer a low-cost more effective solution to storage tanks, there are still some applications such as with petroleum, medical waste, and specific industrial waste in which only a storage tank will do. Hallaton is experienced with storage tank installation, piping, leak detection/repair and removal and remediation.
In addition, secondary containment in often necessary with storage tanks and consists of a liner system that surrounds a primary containment system, such as a steel tank. Since tanks often contain hazardous materials such as fuel or chemicals that can be very damaging to the environment as the result of a primary containment failure, secondary containment is an absolute necessity. This is typically accomplished with a lined area with dike walls surrounding an above ground storage tank. If the tank were to fail and leak, the surrounding secondary containment area is designed to have to contain the entire spill volume and confine it until clean up can be performed.
Hallaton is your quality installer when it comes to secondary containment and is able to fabricate and place liner in even the most hard to reach areas of a job. Give us the chance to demonstrate our expertise in this field.
POWER GENERATION
Power production and renewable resources are top of the headlines in today’s economy and production facilities are being held to stricter environmental standards than ever before. Power production facilities that produce electricity primarily use generators that burn coal, natural gas and oil. The waste and byproducts of energy production such as ash, gypsum, slag and contaminated water must be properly stored and/or disposed of. A properly installed geomembrane liner is an appropriate storage facility that will offer cost-effective solution.
Hallaton can assist power production facilities with the management of these environmental hazards through its waste management systems with the experience and expertise to install large, wide-open applications for fly ash storage as well as highly detailed substation transformer pits consist of liners, holding tanks, process piping and more.
WATER TREATMENT
Awareness and new regulations require industrial and municipal waste water treatment facilities and their holding lagoons to have a lining system to contain contaminants and prevent the pollution of streams and groundwater. Hallaton Inc. has extensive experience in the installation of various liner materials in large volume containment lagoons, as well as smaller detailed applications such as sludge drying beds.
Whether your containment needs are for potable water, agricultural supply or sewage water treatment, waste water treatment plants rely on geomembranes to meet these needs. Hallaton’s expertise in geosynthetic liners and their world-wide installation experience make them a number one choice for any water treatment need.
