How Are Geomembranes Used?
Geomembranes are synthetic membrane liners or barriers used to control fluid migration in a manmade project, structure, or system. They are made from relatively thin continuous polymeric sheets that are sometimes made from the infusion of geotextiles with asphalt, elastomer, or polymer sprays. This means that their applications to geotechnical engineering and other industrial clients are endless. What Is a Geomembrane The word “geomembrane” is considered a very low permeability liner made out of synthetic material . A geomembrane is regularly used for the containment of hazardous liquids that can contaminate the ground or surrounding structures if not correctly contained. Geomembrane can often mean that the chemical resistant properties of the liner will be heavily focused on. In engineering, the phrase “geomembrane liner” is used for larger size liners where a specific type of liner is specified. Benefit of Geomembrance 1. Provide positive water contain...
