The New Zealand leader in complete geosynthetic solutions

Since its establishment in 1996, Viking Containment has been providing durable geosynthetic solutions for the primary, civil, and construction industries throughout New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific.

Supplied by Viking Containment

Viking Containment’s innovative range of geomembranes, geotextiles, and associated products are used to improve infrastructure, contain waste and wastewater, and protect the environment in a variety of sectors including dairy farms, viticulture, landfill, mining, civil infrastructure, and contract earthworks.

The people at Viking Containment are experienced in all aspects of geosynthetic systems and work closely with clients to ensure every installation is completed on time, within budget, and to specifications.

Viking Containment has extensive experience in the supply and construction of dairy effluent pond liner systems. The same exacting standards required for municipal wastewater treatment ponds also apply to dairy effluent applications.

Design and installation are critical elements for the successful containment of dairy effluent ponds. A minor breach of the liner system can have disastrous effects. Effluent leakage generates methane gas; the trapped gas collects beneath the liner forming large pockets or bubbles, known as whales, which leads to the ultimate failure of the liner system.

For this reason alone you need the security of welded seams that can be tested 100%. The welding and testing technology for Agrishield liners incorporates a non-destructive test system. The dual-track wedge welds allow all seams to be pressure tested. This test will pick up a pinhole.

Viking Containment does not use or recommend lap-taped joins for dairy effluent. A taped join has no means of testing.
