      Safe and ergonomic welding of plastic membranes with Leister

      Leister Civil Engineering Applications

      In civil engineering, tunneling, and disposal applications, the quality of the sealing system is the top priority. Any leaks can have fatal consequences. Therefore, it is incredibly important that the processing quality fulfills extremely stringent requirements. Not only the material itself and the processor are responsible for this – in large part, so is the tool used to carry out the work. Leister tools not only facilitate incredibly precise welding, they also stand out from the crowd thanks to their ergonomics. They can be relied on, no matter where in the world they are used.

       

       

      Welding of Geomembranes for Landfill Sites

      Reliable and Durable

      Leister Geostar G7 for geo membrane welding in land fills, pond constructions, tunnelling projects

      When it comes to constructing storage sites, the sealing system is the heart of the installation and it is this system's reliability which is crucial in determining the site's long-term safety. HDPE, PP, PVC or TPO is usually used as the bottom geo-membrane and can be up to 3 mm (118 mil) thick. The top geo-membrane layer (over the bulk goods) generally consists of a thinner material. Leister offers welding machines for all requirements: the hot-wedge and combi-wedge machines are designed differently in terms of welding pressure. Various models are available, from the most powerful and technologically advanced, GEOSTAR wedge welder, to the lightweight TWINNY S. All tools feature special nozzles, hot wedges and pressure rollers, which can be used to double weld the sheets which have been laid in an overlapped arrangement. After welding, the test needle and compressed air can be used to check the integrity of the test channel which has just been created. A version with a USB memory system is also available for certain machines, enabling all relevant parameters to be recorded. Leister also offers the EXAMO, VACUUM BOX, and vacuum bell tools for additional inspection of the weld seam.

      Welding of Geomembranes for Mine Construction

      Powerful and Safe

      Leister plastic welding applications in civil engineering mining

      In mine construction, the material, released mechanically or with explosives, is washed out into collecting reservoirs (heap leaching pads). The leaktight sealing system ensures that valuable minerals or metals released into this water cannot escape into the groundwater supply and that the process water does not contaminate the ground. Leister offers welding machines for all requirements: the hot-wedge and combi-wedge machines are designed differently in terms of welding pressure. Various models are available, from the most powerful and technologically advanced, GEOSTAR wedge welder, to the lightweight TWINNY S. All tools feature special nozzles, hot wedges and pressure rollers, which can be used to double weld the sheets which have been laid in an overlapped arrangement. After welding, the test needle and compressed air can be used to check the integrity of the test channel which has just been created. A version with a USB memory system is also available for certain machines, enabling all relevant parameters to be recorded. Leister also offers the EXAMO, VACUUM BOX, and vacuum bell tools for additional inspection of the weld seam.

      Welding of Thermoplastic Geomembranes for Tunnel Sealing

      Versatile and Reliable

      leister comet overhead welding in tunnelling operations

      Tunnel geo-membranes are utilized in surface mining or deep mining. Once the concrete casing is complete, a plastic sealing system made from HDPE, PP, PVC or TPO is usually used to provide protection from any penetrating moisture. The individual sheets are laid perpendicular to the direction of the tunnel. Lightweight and flexible welding machines are required for this "overhead welding." Leister offers several suitable machines in the form of the TWINNY, COMET, and TRIAC DRIVE AT. Details can be welded easily and ergonomically with the handheld extrusion welders, hand welding tools (heat guns), and matching accessories.

      Welding of Thermoplastic Liner for Ponds and Swimming pools

      Leister plastic welding applications civil engineering pond and swimming pool construction

      Artificial lakes, swimming ponds, and swimming pools are all the rage! In order to ensure the safety of the sealing system, reliable tools are needed, which are not only able to weld perfectly, but can also work across large areas economically and ergonomically. Leister offers the right welding machines for all areas and materials. The VARIMAT V2 is particularly well-suited to the overlap welding of large areas with an even surface, as are often encountered in swimming pool refurbishment projects. The flexible and maneuverable UNIROOF, which also is used in the installation or roofing systems, is appropriate for smaller, confined areas. For uneven surfaces, such as those found in artificial lakes, swimming ponds or biotopes, the answer is the hot-wedge machines otherwise used in civil engineering: The small, easy to handle GEOSTAR wedge welders and TWINNY hot-air welders adapt to the surface topography perfectly and weld the thermoplastic geomembranes safely, making them absolutely leaktight. Leister offers a wide range of hand welding tools and matching accessories, such as nozzles or the legendary Leister pressure roller, for welding connections and details.

      Welding of Geomembranes for Reservoirs and Fish Farms

      Leister plastic welding applications civil engineering in reservoirs and fish pond construction

      Leaktightness is an extremely high priority when it comes to sealing systems for distribution reservoirs and fish farm tanks. For the most part, such sealing systems consist of HDPE, PP, PVC or TPO material. Welding must ensure that the material remains totally leaktight in the long term. Reliable tools, but ones which also enable welding to be carried out quickly and, therefore, economically, are needed here to safeguard the safety of the sealing system. The small, easy to handle GEOSTAR wedge welders and TWINNY hot air welders adapt to the surface topography perfectly and weld the plastic geomembranes safely, making them leaktight for the long term. Vertical and horizontal work can be performed on walls too with the lightweight and flexible TRIAC DRIVE AT semi-automatic welding machine. Leister offers a wide range of hand extruders and hand welding tools, together with matching accessories, for welding connections and details.
