Thermal Powertech Corporation India Ltd. (TPCIL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries Ltd, had to build, own and operate a 1320-megawatt (2×660 MW units) coal-fired coastal power-plant in India. The power-plant’s construction was expected to be implemented in two phases- building of units 660 and 600 megawatts. Thermal Power stations using pulverized coal as fuel generate large quantities of ash as a by-product, which is then transported as slurry through pipe and disposed off in an impoundment called ash pond. In this project, three ash ponds of 2000 m length and 4.5 m height were constructed, namely, Lagoon A, Over flow lagoon and Lagoon B. Thermal Powertech Corporation India Ltd. decided to protect the slopes and bottom of ash ponds by providing a liner packing to prevent the infiltration of the slurry and approached Maccaferri for supply and installation of base and side liners. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Considering the importance of the project and protection of the environment, Maccaferri suggested the use of geomembrane MacLine\u00ae SDH HDPE 1.0 mm thick, at the slopes as well as the bed of ash ponds, which will act as an impermeable liner. Maccaferri supplied and installed the geomembrane. Before laying the membrane, the side slopes of the pond were dressed to a stable inclination of 1V : 2H. To ensure the stability of liner, safe anchoring was done at the top by providing anchor trenches and a 200mm thick brick liner was provided at the slopes above the geomembrane liner. The joining of adjacent membranes was done by wedge welding and two Leister Comet wedge welding machines were used at the site. The geomembrane used contains 97% of polyethylene and 3% of carbon black content. This membrane has good environmental crack resistance and UV resistance made it possible to lay it in exposed conditions. During construction, there was more seepage in the pond area. Therefore, more de-watering pumps were provided for pumping out water continuously to reduce the water-table\/ seepage. Also, cut piece of geomembrane was placed below the welding portion during welding time to avoid direct contact of seepage or moisture in order to get proper welding of geomembrane. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>
