Geomembrane
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A Geomembrane is a synthetic, impermeable sheet used in civil engineering and environmental projects to prevent the movement of water, chemicals, or contaminants from one area to another.
It acts as a barrier layer.
Key Features
- Impermeable (almost zero water permeability)
- Chemical-resistant
- Durable and UV-resistant (depending on material)
- Flexible and easy to install
Common Materials
- HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) – most widely used, strong and durable
- LDPE – more flexible
- PVC – smooth and flexible
- LLDPE – good flexibility with strength
- EPDM – rubber-like, very flexible
Where Geomembranes Are Used
- Landfills: to stop leachate from entering soil
- Ponds & Lakes: waterproof lining for fish ponds, canals, reservoirs
- Road & Highway Works: lining for stormwater channels, retaining walls
- Tunnels: waterproofing barrier behind shotcrete
- Mining: lining for heap leach pads and tailing ponds
- Wastewater Treatment: tank liners, sludge ponds
Why Use a Geomembrane?
- Prevents water loss
- Stops contamination of soil and groundwater
- Provides long-term protection
- Cost-effective and easy to maintain
