inspection every five years, requiring a
full emptying of the reservoir, is recommended.
Special attention is directed
to structural battening, necessitating
cleaning before visual inspections.
Additionally, electrical leak detection
testing is suggested every 10 years. In the
event of unexpected major incidents, a
thorough review of the liner's stability in
affected areas is advised.
Conclusion
The bituminous geomembrane demonstrates
its versatility and resilience across
various applications, as seen in projects
like the Aguas Andinas Estanques Pirque
water storage facility and Wasteway 5
Reregulation Reservoir. Certified for
potable water storage, with compatibility
across diverse surfaces, and displaying
longevity under various conditions,
BGM is a reliable choice for ensuring
water quality and security. Its adaptability
to challenging terrains and diverse
project requirements is evident through
its support for exposed liner options
and innovative installation approaches.
Consequently, BGM emerges as a lasting
solution, playing a crucial role in
strengthening water storage infrastructure
and meeting the evolving demands
of water resource management with efficiency
and sustainability at its core.
As a cost-effective yet durable option
for geomembrane lining, the BGM meets
stringent standards, gaining approvals
from regulatory bodies. The success of the
two reservoir projects described further
underscores BGM's adaptability, showcasing
its effectiveness in safeguarding
water resources, enhancing structural
integrity and ensuring long-term sustainability.
Serving as a resilient and efficient
geomembrane, BGM stands as a reliable
choice for addressing the diverse challenges
associated with water storage, containment
and conservation. G
