Professional Installation / Placement of Landfill Base Sealing Systems
The base sealing of landfills is a necessary measure to protect the environment from harmful substances. Naue offers comprehensive base sealing solutions, based on cutting-edge technology and years of experience, ensuring compliance with the highest environmental standards.
What are base sealing systems in landfills?
Base sealing systems in landfills consist of multiple layers designed to prevent the infiltration of leachate and harmful substances into the soil and groundwater. These sealing systems are regulated by the Landfill Ordinance (DepV), which specifies requirements for different landfill classes (DK 0 to DK III). Base sealing typically includes a mineral liner and an overlying geomembrane.
Why is sealing crucial?
An effective base sealing system is essential to protect the environment from the harmful effects of landfill leachate. Leaks can lead to significant soil and groundwater contamination, with severe ecological and health consequences. Proper sealing ensures that all potentially hazardous substances are securely contained and do not enter the environment.
