Water reservoir construction with geosynthetic lining system

In this video you will see how the lining system for the so-called "Bergsee" storage reservoir is installed. The reservoir is located just below the summit of the Gerlitzen Alpe in Austria and is the highest and last reservoir on the mountain. The lake is intended to make artificial snowmaking in winter more resource-efficient, as the lake is fed by natural tributaries and the altitude ensures snowmaking by its own pressure. The reservoir is an important tourism and thus also economic factor for an entire region. The state-of-the-art lining system, consisting of geotextiles such as high-performance nonwovens and geomembrane, guarantees the long-term safe function of the reservoir.
