In fact, geomembrane is impenetrable sheet of thin polymer and used as coating and insulation of various tanks. Sheets are connected to each other by welding which form impermeable and integrated level. These sheets contain all types of liners and coatings in the form of a monolithic barrier against liquids and vapors act.
Geomembrane, one of the largest groups of geosynthetic materials over the past two decades, has become the most efficient and the most well-known engineering materials and industrial chemicals .
Geomembranes have been widely used in environment such as landfill operations, water network as well as hydraulic, geotechnique, insulation of tunnels and Fluid storage tanks.
Application of Geomembrane
- In lakes and swimming pools as isolated and protective layer
- In dams
- In tunnels as insulation against underground water
- Used in the construction of storage tanks and waste water or any other fluid (even acid) as a layer of impervious and resistant (100 years resistance).
- In landfills as a protection against the ingress of contaminants to the environment
