Geosynthetics Supply – FG Gold Process Ponds, Sierra Leone — Case Study

Case Study Brief

FG Gold required geosynthetic materials and pipework for its process-pond works in Sierra Leone. Geosynthetics Africa coordinated the supply package and delivery arrangements. The scope included HDPE geomembrane, protection geotextile and solid HDPE pipework with custom flange details. Pipe diameters ranged from DN110 to DN315 to suit the project’s connections. Material identification and manufacturer documentation supported receipt checks against the order. The pipework was part of the process arrangement and should not be described as slotted drainage pipe. This case covers material supply. Site installation, seam QA/QC, pipe-joint testing and final commissioning remain separate from the supply documentation.

The Logistics Challenge

The Sierra Leone supply package combined geomembrane, protection geotextile and solid HDPE pipework with custom flange details. Material identification, packing and delivery coordination needed to cover a mixed package rather than liner rolls alone.

One coordinated geosynthetics and pipework package.

The supply scope brought together lining materials and DN110–DN315 pipe interfaces with consignment and delivery coordination. The pipework was solid custom-flanged HDPE, not slotted drainage pipe.

“In-house project comment: The FG Gold package brought liner, protection geotextile and custom pipework into one coordinated supply scope. That connection helps keep the material interfaces visible from procurement through delivery.
