RURALRongotea – Effluent Pond Construction

After soil testing and a complete site survey it was decided that an HDPE liner with geotextile, gas venting and safety ladders would be installed. The earthworks took 8 weeks to complete. The leak detection system was then installed and the area was made ready for the lining operation which took two days. Once the liner was installed the existing tile drains cut by the earthworks were redirected around the toe of the bank. The area was then topsoiled and grassed.
