Floating Covers
Floating cover systems have been used successfully for nearly 30 years. With current
advancements in design and materials, floating covers offer a low cost alternative
to traditional tanks, concrete vaults and fixed-cover systems used for liquid and
semi-solid storage. Applications for floating covers can be far reaching, but the
primary objective of a properly designed cover is to either prevent the loss of
characteristics desired for your containment effort, or to prevent the introduction
of particulates and other characteristics that negatively affect the containment
effort.
Floating cover designs fall into a few specific types. Defined Sump, Tensioned and
Modular are the more common designs. A variety of geomembranes have proven effective
in these system designs: HDPE, reinforced polypropylene and XR-5 are just a few.
Floating covers can be used for potable water storage, odor control, methane gas
capture, heat loss prevention, deter algae growth, chemical containment, evaporation
control, airborne contaminants and to prevent dilution.
