Considering that the pumped storage power station has higher requirements for the seepage control of the upper reservoir, and that the curtain seepage control is not only a big investment, but also difficult to guarantee the seepage control effect, it is proposed in the feasibility study stage that it is preferable to adopt the structural form of seepage control for the surface of the whole reservoir basin in the upper reservoir. As the bottom of the upper reservoir is shaped by lowering the ridge between the two gullies and filling in the gullies, with a larger filling height of about 70 m, the problem of uneven settlement and deformation of the bottom of the reservoir is more prominent. In order to adapt to the effects of uneven settlement and deformation, it is preferable to use flexible seepage control for the bottom of the reservoir.

Construction of Geocells: A Technical Overview with Application Guidelines

Geocells, also known as cellular confinement systems, are three-dimensional, honeycomb-like structures made from novel polymer alloys (often HDPE or polyester). When expanded and filled with soil, aggregate, or concrete, they form a rigid mattress that provides exceptional confinement, erosion control, and load distribution. This article details their key advantages, critical parameters, and a step-by-step construction methodology.

Geomembrane Installation: Procedures, Specifications, and Best Practices

Geomembranes are impermeable polymeric sheets used extensively in environmental, hydraulic, and geotechnical engineering applications such as landfills, reservoirs, canals, and containment ponds. Proper installation is critical to ensure their long-term performance and integrity. This article outlines the standard installation methodology and provides key technical specifications.

Geotextiles in Reservoir Engineering: Impermeability, Filtration, and Construction

Consulting Brief: Geotextiles for Reservoir Integrity Objective: To implement a cost-effective geotextile solution for enhancing the performance and longevity of reservoir impermeable liner systems. Proposed Solution: Utilize a non-woven polypropylene geotextile as a protective and filtration layer beneath the primary HDPE geomembrane. This composite system ensures a robust and durable barrier against water seepage.
