Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of engineering technology, and particularly relates to a geomembrane defect detection system and method under soil and rock medium covering conditions. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of civil engineering seepage prevention, geomembranes (such as HDPE, LDPE, etc.) are widely used in landfill sites, tailings ponds, water conservancy projects, etc. due to their excellent impermeability and corrosion resistance. However, in the working conditions where the soil and rock medium covering layer is thick (usually 5-15 meters) and the medium composition is complex (such as a mixture of clay, gravel, and metal impurities), geomembrane defect detection faces severe challenges.
[0003] Traditional detection methods such as electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and geological radar (GPR) can partially identify leakage points, but have significant limitations: ERT is easily disturbed by the medium background in conductive clay or high humidity areas, with a resistivity measurement error of more than 30%, resulting in a high false positive rate; GPR has severe electromagnetic wave scattering in metal impurity-rich areas, with a penetration depth that drops from the theoretical 10 meters to less than 3 meters, and insufficient resolution for millimeter-sized holes. In addition, existing systems mostly use fixed-density electrodes or sensors, which are difficult to adapt to soil heterogeneity - for example, excessive deployment in uniform sandstone areas results in resource waste, while insufficient density in joint or slope mutation areas leads to missed detection. In one case, a tailings pond missed 3 cracks due to uneven sensor coverage, ultimately causing a leakage accident. Manual inspection can supplement some defects, but is inefficient and cannot provide real-time monitoring, especially in deep coverage or dangerous slope areas, where labor costs and safety risks increase sharply.
[0004] In existing technologies, data processing relies on cloud computing, but field engineering often faces unstable networks or bandwidth limitations, resulting in a detection result delay of up to several hours, which cannot meet the real-time response needs of leakage emergencies. For example, a landfill site failed to locate the leakage point after a heavy rain due to data transmission delay, resulting in the spread of pollutants to the surrounding soil. In recent years, some research has attempted to introduce distributed optical fiber sensing or unmanned aerial vehicle infrared thermal imaging technology, but the multi-modal data fusion capability is insufficient - for example, the spatial and temporal alignment error between optical fiber vibration signals and resistivity data is more than 0.5 meters, and there is a lack of correlation analysis for small defects (<1 centimeter), with an actual detection rate of only 70%-80%. In addition, existing systems still rely on static empirical models for geomembrane aging assessment, without considering the real-time influence of temperature, humidity, dynamic load, and other environmental stresses, resulting in a life prediction error of more than 30%. For example, a water conservancy project failed to predict material softening caused by high temperature, and the geomembrane cracked on a large scale after 3 years of service, 50% shorter than the predicted life.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a full-process solution that integrates multi-modal sensing, edge intelligence compression, graph neural network fusion, and digital twin life prediction to break through the multiple bottlenecks of precision, efficiency, and reliability. SUMMARY
