Waterproof Geomembrane
A waterproof geomembrane is a sheet that is made up of polyethylene and is used to prevent the soil from getting wet. The main types of geomembrane that are produced are; HDPE geomembrane, LDPE geomembrane, PVC geomembrane and EVA geomembrane.
Benefits of Waterproof Geomembrane
- Resistant to most chemical solvents – as a result of being waterproof, no solvent from acids, alkalis, organic and inorganic solvents can be able to de-solve the material.
- High mechanical resistance – since the material is waterproof, no weather condition can be able to damage it due to its resistance to deterioration by water and other solvent
- Durability – due to the fact that the geomembrane is made up of HDPE which is durable with a lifespan of over 100 years without deterioration even under exposure of the elements.
- The waterproof geomembrane assures the tightness of the product.
- Cost effective since HDPE is easily available and cheap to find
Where to Use Waterproof Geomembrane
Containment Systems – Oil and gas companies use the geomembrane as secondary containment systems to prevent soil contamination.
Landfill Applications – Waterproof geomembrane is used in landfill applications for proper lining and prevent leaching and control gas emissions.
Mining Industry – Used in mining sector for heap leach pads, tailings storage facilities and for containment to prevent seepage
Irrigation Canals – Applied in the agricultural sector such as irrigation canals, water treatment ponds and reservoirs.
Waste Water Plant Systems – They are used in water and waste-water plants for tanks to prevent leakages.
