What are geomembranes and how are they used?

Geomembranes are synthetic membrane liners or barriers used to control fluid migration in man-made projects, structures or systems. They are made from relatively thin continuous polymer sheets, sometimes consisting of geotextiles infused with asphalt, elastomers or polymer sprays. This means that their applications in geotechnical engineering and other industrial customers are endless.

What are geomembranes?

Geomembranes are used in environmental, hydraulics, transportation, oil and gas applications and in the waste treatment industry. The most common type is a continuous polymer sheet. When larger geomembranes are required, they are thermally or chemically fused together at the seams for increased strength and durability. Geomembranes are completely customizable in size, so they can be as small as a backyard fish pond or as large as a soccer field.   To better understand the uses of geomembranes, here are some of the most common uses. ▴As a liner for potable or reserve water (e.g., safety shutdown of a nuclear facility) ▴As a fish pond liner ▴ As a liner for waste liquids (e.g. sewage sludge), radioactive or hazardous waste liquids ▴As a liner for the agricultural industry ▴As liners for various waste transport channels ▴To contain and transport drinking water and other liquids in the ocean ▴Preventing de-icing salt contamination underneath highways ▴Capturing dangerous liquid spills ...

Geo Liners for Decorative Ponds

Geo liners for decorative ponds help to enhance the beauty and value of your property. Whether the pond will be for aesthetics, attracting wildlife, fishing, or lacing up your skates in the winter; there are many factors to consider when designing and building your dream pond.   Area and Depth Depending on the climate and intended use of your constructed pond, depth may be more of a factor than most people realize. If the pond will be constructed in a climate with four seasons and is intended to maintain fish stock; certain areas, depths, and slopes are suggested to allow aquatic life to thrive. For a vibrant fish population or cool swimming hole, a minimum pond area of 1/2 to 1 acre is recommended, with as much as the pond as possible reaching a depth of 15 feet and side slopes at 1:3 for fish habitat and 1:4 for swimming access. This combination of depth and relatively steep side slopes help reduce aquatic plant growth. An irregular shoreline is also helpful for fishery habitat....

Geomembrane Liners for Hydroelectric Power Plants

In a world where "going green" is the cool thing to do, harnessing water power in the form of hydroelectricity is the largest source of clean, renewable energy available today. Hydroelectric power is reported to account for 52% of renewable energy generation in the U.S. and 7% of total electricity generation, and failure to achieve reliable and consistent water flow could leave millions of people stranded. The various types of hydroelectric plants in use today each have their own unique geomembrane uses to assist in the protection and delivery of water within their systems, helping to more efficiently provide green energy to the public.   Impoundment The most common form of hydropower generation is the impoundment behind a dam. The reservoir created by the dam is the key to this system. This harnessed water flows through a turbine and connects to a generator, which in turn generates electricity and connects to the consumer. Containing as much water as possible and directing i...
