Case History -Geomembrane & Floating Cover System, South Australia Water Corporation, Wattle Park Potable Water Reservoir
As part of a water security review to address severe drought conditions, South Australia Water Corporation (Owner) identified the need for several essential infrastructure projects which included an upgrade to the Wattle Park potable water reservoir. The Wattle Park reservoir, with an 84 million litre (22 million gallon) capacity, required a new geomembrane liner and floating cover system. At prior storage and treatment reservoirs using normal levels of chlorination for a disinfectant, the Owner had experienced premature failures with certain liner and cover materials. Based on the operational importance of the Wattle Park project, a new performance specification for the geomembrane and floating cover material was developed. Meeting this specification required a specially stabilized and formulated geomembrane. This paper addresses the technical review criteria for selecting a new geomembrane as well as a number of project challenges and techniques used by the contractor related to the installation of a new liner and floating cover.
