The Buffelsdraai Landfill Lining Installation project began at the end of March and we are now passing the critical 'spine' of the cell. Ramtar Construction was contracted by Melki Civils and Plant Hire to install the Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) as well as supply and install the geotextile protection layer over the HDPE.
Challenges include coordination between 3 contractors working in the same space, as well as keeping a sharp eye on the sky as the GCL must not get wet in the rain and has to be covered pronto if there's a downpour - cricket pitch style!
With 31500 sqm to cover, we have found our rhythm and the team has come together nicely. Here's hoping for good weather in the next couple of weeks!
