Tailings Management & Protection

Protect liners, stabilize cover materials, and control erosion in tailings and mine waste systems.

Build stable, long-lasting containment for tailings waste and stormwater systems. The GEOWEB geocells protect geomembranes, reduce cover material needs, and prevent erosion on steep slopes and channels. The system supports vegetation or aggregate cover over liners and provides dependable containment for even the most challenging site conditions.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Protects geomembranes on steep slopes and flat surfaces 
• Enables smaller, less expensive D50 aggregate — up to 10 times smaller — in arid regions
• Controls erosion in stormwater channels with vegetated, aggregate, or concrete infill 
• Reduces liner damage and long-term maintenance costs 
• Stabilizes cover soil for long-term vegetation over tailings 
• Prevents washout and rutting during rain events and runoff
