Mining

Minerals are part of everyday life: as construction materials (crushed stone, sand and gravel) for infrastructure and buildings, as industrial raw materials (metals, lime, kaolin, silica sand, talc) and as essential components in the production of steel, automobiles, computers, medicines and fertilisers.

The main requirements in the mining sector include:
• the treatment of chemicals, heavy metals, sludge and contaminated water;
• the management of the environmental impact of extraction sites;
• the preservation of geological conditions;
• the transportation and proper use of raw materials outside the extraction site.

The mining sector encompasses a wide variety of application needs, ranging from landfill management and road construction to erosion control.

To address these requirements, Edilfloor offers five product families: nonwoven geotextiles, woven geotextiles, soil reinforcement geogrids, drainage geocomposites and tubular geofilters. Each family provides solutions suited to the different types and locations of extraction sites.
