Tunneling

Welding of Thermoplastic Geomembranes for Tunnel Sealing

Versatile and Reliable

Plastic Welding Civil Engineering Tunneling — TWINNY T

Tunnel geomembranes 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.
