Supply of 61,600 m² of GSE® HDPE geomembrane to Ikongwe Iron Ore Mine in Botswana: 21,560 m² of 1.0 mm liner and 40,040 m² of 2.0 mm liner.

Case Study Brief

Ikongwe Iron Ore Mine required HDPE geomembrane in two thicknesses for its containment works. Geosynthetics Africa supplied 21,560 m² of 1.0 mm liner and 40,040 m² of 2.0 mm liner, a total of 61,600 m². The supply scope covered material procurement, roll preparation and coordinated delivery to Botswana. Separate quantities and thicknesses allowed the order to be checked against the project’s material schedule. Manufacturer documentation and roll identification supported material traceability. Cross-border arrangements depended on the consignment documents and applicable customs requirements, rather than an automatic tariff exemption. This case concerns material supply. Liner installation, field testing and final construction acceptance are separate responsibilities under the project scope.

The Logistics Challenge

The Botswana order combined 21,560 m² of 1.0 mm and 40,040 m² of 2.0 mm HDPE geomembrane. The logistics task was to keep the thicknesses, quantities and consignment identification aligned from order preparation to receipt at Ikongwe.

Two thicknesses. One coordinated supply scope.

Procurement, roll identification, consignment preparation and Botswana delivery arrangements were coordinated around the material schedule. The delivered quantities remain the primary measurable project proof.
