Project Spotlight

Artesian Resources Treated Wastewater Holding Lagoon

MEMBER COMPANY: 
MEMBER COMPANIES: 

Hallaton Environmental Linings (Installer), Cooley Group (Manufacturer), and EPI (Factory Fabricator)

APPLICATION:

Wastewater lagoon bottom liner system with cushion geotextile

PROJECT OVERVIEW:

This project consists of lining a 3-million-gallon treated wastewater holding lagoon for the Artesian Wastewater Treatment Plant (Artesian) in Milton, Delaware. This lagoon was installed adjacent to an existing 90-million-gallon wastewater lagoon and acts as an additional buffer for contaminants. The new lagoon features a screening station and lift pump to divert the wastewater from the new, smaller lagoon into the larger, existing 90-million-gallon lagoon. Having a lined lagoon is imperative to the treatment plant because it ensures that wastewater cannot permeate in to the shallow groundwater and contaminate the surrounding area. Lining this lagoon with a geomembrane creates a secure container for the wastewater after it is treated but before it can be moved to a final holding location.

The FGI is proud to highlight our members' projects utilizing fabricated flexible geosynthetics. Check out some of the creative projects, understand why certain products were selected, and read the project descriptions as well as the important lessons learned.
