Containment & Waterproofing Applications

Geomembrane Applications

HDPE and LLDPE liner systems for long-term containment, water conservation and environmental protection across civil, agricultural, industrial and mining projects.

System Overview

One Liner Family, Seven Critical Containment Fields

The correct membrane grade, thickness, surface texture, protection layer and welding plan are selected around chemical exposure, slope geometry, puncture risk, hydraulic loading and the required service life.

01

Containment

Low-permeability liners isolate liquids, leachate, process solutions and gases.

02

Chemical Resistance

HDPE resists many acids, alkalis, salts and industrial fluids when correctly specified.

03

Settlement Tolerance

Flexible membranes accommodate controlled subgrade movement and irregular foundations.

04

Welded Continuity

Thermal seams create an integrated barrier that can be inspected and tested on site.

01 / Waste Containment

Landfills

HDPE geomembrane forms the primary barrier in base-liner and final-cover systems, limiting leachate migration into soil and groundwater. Combined with geotextile protection and drainage geocomposites, it supports long-term containment and controlled leachate collection.

Typical Project Challenges

  • Chemically complex leachate
  • Puncture from waste and aggregates
  • Differential foundation settlement
  • Large areas requiring reliable welded seams

02 / Mining Containment

Mining and Heap-Leach Facilities

Geomembranes line tailings facilities, heap-leach pads, process ponds and mine-water systems. Smooth grades support flat containment areas, while textured membranes add interface friction on slopes.

Typical Project Challenges

  • Acidic or alkaline process liquids
  • Sharp ore and aggregate puncture
  • Steep slopes and interface stability
  • Outdoor UV and temperature exposure

03 / Water Quality

Aquaculture Ponds

A geomembrane liner separates culture water from the soil, reduces seepage and makes pond cleaning and water-quality management more predictable. It is used in fish, shrimp and other intensive farming ponds.

Typical Project Challenges

  • Water loss through permeable soil
  • Variable groundwater quality
  • Pond-bank stability
  • Routine cleaning and disinfection

04 / Water Conservation

Agricultural Water Management

Geomembranes line irrigation canals, farm reservoirs, water-storage ponds and fertilizer tanks to reduce seepage losses. Textured surfaces can be selected where slope friction is a primary design consideration.

Typical Project Challenges

  • Seepage from earthen canals
  • Water scarcity and evaporation planning
  • Root and subgrade puncture
  • Exposed slopes and wind uplift

05 / Environmental Protection

Wastewater Treatment

Municipal and industrial wastewater ponds use geomembranes to isolate process water, sludge liquor and emergency storage from the surrounding ground. Material selection is matched to the liquid chemistry and operating temperature.

Typical Project Challenges

  • Corrosive or contaminated liquids
  • Subgrade gas and groundwater pressure
  • Sludge abrasion
  • Inspection and repair access
Process Ponds Emergency Storage Leak Control

06 / Brine Containment

Salt and Evaporation Ponds

HDPE liners reduce brine loss in sea-salt ponds, salt-lake projects and mineral evaporation systems. Correct resin grade, UV resistance and installation detailing are important for concentrated brine and exposed climates.

Typical Project Challenges

  • High-salinity brine
  • Strong solar exposure
  • Salt-crystal abrasion
  • Thermal movement over large areas

07 / Agricultural Energy

Biogas Digesters and Covered Lagoons

Geomembranes provide liquid containment and gas-tight covers for manure-treatment lagoons, anaerobic digesters and biogas storage ponds. Flexible welded sheets accommodate controlled movement while helping capture biogas for use.

Typical Project Challenges

  • Organic acids and hydrogen sulfide
  • Gas-tight seam detailing
  • Cover movement and uplift
  • Outdoor weathering
