It is well known that since the early 1960’s in excess of 400 Floating cover reservoirs have been constructed worldwide. These structures are capable of providing much reduced construction and water storage costs than for conventional concrete reservoirs, often at a ratio of 2 new Floating covers for the cost of a single concrete reservoir of equivalent capacity.

The benefits over time are also quick to be realised with these low maintenance structures which combine durability and weather resistance of the floating cover with an almost maintenance free internal liner which has no inherent long term requirement for repairs or replacement to the joints as compared with conventional structures.

The construction programme for the floating cover system based on a compacted earthwall construction is also a fraction of the time for that of a traditional concrete structure and with no requirement for time consuming curing of concrete – Once completed, it is immediately ready for use!

The liner system is so versatile that it can be used on virtually any size reservoir and geometry and not only can it be applied to new constructions , it is equally applicable and very adaptable for use in existing structures often with only minor internal modifications required.

In all instances atmospheric pollution and extraneous dust entry is prevented from occurring due to the fact that the system is fully hermitically sealed around the perimeter of the structure thereby assuring that the quality of the stored liquid is not compromised.

Typically, Linings which fall into this category can be divided , but certainly not limited to the following groups: Potable water reservoirs / Molasses storage for Sugar plantations / covers for the reduction of evaporation loss / Covers preventing odour pollution on leachate ponds and chemical effluent ponds / Cover to storage impoundments at waste water treatment works.
