Lagoons: Engineering Marvels in Water Management

Lagoons are key players in how we manage water resources, especially when it comes to stormwater control, wastewater treatment, and irrigation. Designing these systems requires careful planning of land, water flow, and technical details for lasting effectiveness. This approach enhances performance and extends lagoon lifespan, ensuring reliable water management across environments. At Anton Solutions we offer a full range of services to ensure that all aspects of lagoon and channel design are carried out with accuracy and expertise.

Lagoon Design: Geology & Engineering

Designing a resilient lagoon requires careful analysis of both geological and engineering factors. Key geological considerations like soil composition, subsurface stability, and groundwater dynamics are crucial for the lagoon's effectiveness and longevity. The process moves to technical steps like excavation, grading, and installing liners and structures. This ensures efficient water management and long-term structural integrity.

  • Soil Availability and Stability: Choosing low-permeability soil, rather than clay, is critical to minimize erosion. Site stability must be assessed to avoid design issues and usability concerns.
  • Groundwater Dynamics: Understanding the site's hydrogeology is crucial for lagoon stability. Rising water levels may demand further groundwater studies.
  • Structural Engineering Elements: Proper drilling, covering, and penetration maintain drilling integrity and sedimentation continuity. This reinforces the container functions as planned with optimal efficiency.

    Geosynthetic Solutions for Lagoon

    Geosynthetics are critical to the design of modern reservoirs, offering solutions for removal, containment, and sedimentation. Selection and application must be carefully tailored to the specific soil and water conditions of each project. Geosynthetics boost lagoon performance, improve longevity, and address soil stability and water retention challenges. It ensures efficient lagoon function while minimizing environmental impact.

  • Filtration Efficiency: Geotextiles like Terrafix® maintain filtration stability between soil layers, with thicknesses ranging from 4.5 mm to 6.0 mm depending on soil type and hydrodynamic conditions.
  • Erosion Control: To prevent soil displacement, especially in high-flow areas, geosynthetic sand mats and sand containers are utilized, ensuring the stability of the lagoon's banks and inlets.
  • Sealing Integrity: Bentofix® GCLs, with their low hydraulic permeability, are employed for effective sealing, preventing water seepage and protecting the surrounding environment.
  • Technical Specifications for Lagoon Liners

    Material Selection

    Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) like Bentofix® provide high performance in sealing applications, especially in areas where low permeability is critical.

    Installation Techniques

    Both dry and underwater installations are possible with products like Bentofix® BZ 13-B, which includes a sand ballast layer to maintain position and function even under challenging conditions.

    Erosion Resistance

    Terrafix® nonwoven geotextiles provide excellent erosion control, essential for maintaining the lagoon’s structural integrity over time.
