Collinsville Mine - Stream Diversion Channel Liner and Erosion Control

The Proposed Lining System and Erosion Control:

  • Channel Layout
    • The channel layout including the low permeability Bentofix X1000 GCL, a ~200mm gravel/road base drainage and protection layer, a compacted soil layer for liner cover, the Grassroots erosion control mat and the thin top soil vegetation layer.
  • Bentofix Installation
    • Prior to the installation of the Bentofix liner, the subgrade should be prepared. This involves the construction of the desired slope geometry, compaction, removal of potentially damaging materials and final smoothing of the slope.
  • Grassroots Installation
    • Installation of Grassroots is a straight forward process
  • Anchor Trench Details
    • Fixing the geosynthetics into place involves installing anchor trenches at the top of the
      slope to prevent the material sliding down the batters.
