How More than 500,000 Ft2 of Geomembrane Protects Subsoil and Groundwater from Jet Fuel Damage
With millions of gallons of jet fuel being housed in containment units, it was vital that Denver International Airport chose a secondary containment option that would be both compliant with federal regulations as well as resistant to potential long-term contact with commercial jet fuel (Jet A). After considering a variety of options, such as concrete, clay, clay blankets, and unreinforced geomembranes, airport officials determined that a reinforced synthetic geomembrane was the best solution for their needs. XR Geomembrane professionals were able to install each 85-foot-diameter geomembrane tank liner as one piece with zero field seams for all six of the aboveground jet fuel tanks.
