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 Is a Dimpled Drainage Matting? Most dimpled drainage matting consist of a polypropylene or high-density polyethylene sheet, molded into a series of raised knobs, or dimples. Polyethylene dimpled drainage mat helps water flow away from the foundation. Without it, water can stay trapped against the concrete or pool at the bottom. Drainage mats come with a dimpled design that lets water accumulate and flow away, creating an air gap. When a dimple mat is placed against a concrete wall, the dimples make the plastic stand out from the wall, leaving a free-draining air space between the plastic and the concrete. If any water reaches this air space, it easily flows to the bottom of the dimple mat. As water flows, it picks up small particles of silt and soil. When water stops moving—like when it reaches a concrete wall—silt and soil will accumulate, further increasing the pressure against the foundation. A drainage ma's membrane protects the mat from sediment clogging...
