Fracking pads and storage lagoons
Enviroseal is committed to providing proven solutions to environmentally challenging problems. Our geomembrane containment liners are readily available to combat ecological hazards that threaten to contaminate surrounding resources. In this regard, Enviroseal’s lining systems are ideally suited to provide resource protection from ground water pollution.
As part of the fracking process it is vital that the surrounding area is not contaminated. Enviroseal provide solutions for containment of fracking pads and for storage lagoons. Fracking well pads are constructed to have a solid working base, delimitation of the working area and a final barrier to stop contamination of the surrounding ground.
Fluids used in the fracking process are referred to as flowback. Flowback is water, combined with sand, oil, sediment, and other chemicals which must be contained to ensure this does not contaminate the surrounding ground. This fluid can either be stored in containment lagoons, ponds, pits, or tanked to be treated.
Enviroseal supply, install and test geosynthetics for water storage lagoons and for spill containment on the fracking pads. The most commonly used geomembrane for containment is HDPE to GRI GM13 which has a high level of chemical resistance, very high UV-resistance and provides a cost-effective solution. The HDPE meets Environment Agency requirements for containment, complies with SSAFO regulations and meets or exceed the recommended specifications from the Geosynthetic Institute The HDPE is typically combined with a non-woven geotextile in either one or two layers depending on the containment design. As designs vary from site to site the geotextile is available in different grades to provide protection to the geomembrane.
