During the technical webinar “Geoelectric leak detection in extreme conditions”, the General Manager of Anddes Argentina, Silverio Prota, explained that the coverage on the geomembrane should not exceed 3 m. Likewise, breaks with thicknesses of up to 10 m have been detected, but the sensitivity (minimum detectable size) is considerably reduced. In this sense, excessive compaction could affect the survey to the extent that it reduces permeability.
