Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental remediation, and more particularly to a flexible membrane curtain wall connection component and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] Using a flexible membrane (such as an HDPEM membrane, etc.) to construct a protective wall for isolating pollutant permeate or protecting groundwater enclosure is an important technology in the current environmental remediation field. This technology uses tools such as a milling machine to excavate a soil trench dozens of meters deep, and lower the flexible membrane to form a vertical curtain wall, thereby blocking the diffusion of pollutant permeate. According to the distribution of pollutants, the ground trenching often extends for several kilometers. However, due to the limitation of processing technology, flexible membranes such as HDPE membranes are only several meters wide, so a large number of flexible membranes need to be arranged along the extension direction of the trenching on the ground surface. In the prior art, two adjacent flexible membranes overlap each other, and there is a gap at the overlapping part between the two, and it is very likely that the polluted liquid will seep out through the gap to form a pollution well and continue to spread outside the curtain wall.
