Geomembranes
Geomembranes are very low permeability synthetic membrane liners or barriers used with any geotechnical engineering related material so as to control fluid migration in a man-made project structure or system. Most geomembranes are made from extruded or co-extruded polymers such as HDPE, PP, CPE, PVC, EPDM etc. that are extruded in large sheets which are welded or glued together in the field. Some extruded geomembranes are reinforced with high tenacity fibers to increase their tensile strength, while others are embossed, roughened, or co-extruded with geotextiles to increase their frictional resistance to sliding. Non-extruded geomembranes consist of coated geotextiles or simply coatings which are sprayed on top of a prepared surface. Properties of the most commonly used geomembranes are provided in this section and are listed by Company. For examples of how geomembranes are used for landfill liners click here!
