Composite geomembranes are impermeable materials made from geotextiles and geomembranes. They are primarily used for anti-seepage. Available in single-fabric and double-fabric, composite geomembranes, they range in width from 4 to 6 meters and weigh from 200 to 1500 g/m². They offer high physical and mechanical properties, including tensile strength, tear resistance, and burst resistance, meeting the needs of civil engineering projects such as water conservancy, municipal administration, construction, transportation, subways, and tunnels. Because they are made of polymer materials and contain anti-aging agents in the production process, they can be used in environments with unusual temperatures.
The composite geomembrane liner has the advantages of geomembrane and geotextile at the same time. Geomembranes provide excellent seepage, leak, moisture, tear, and puncture resistance. The geotextile layer increases the tensile strength, and the composite geomembrane lining plays a great role in the landfill.
On the basis of HDPE geomembrane, the composite geomembrane liner has both flexibility and ductility to improve the waterproof and seepage resistance.
The composite geomembrane is thermally bonded by non-woven or woven geotextile and HDPE geomembrane through calendering technology. Composite geomembrane and geomembrane have the advantages of geomembrane and geotextile at the same time. It not only maintains the waterproof, anti-seepage, and tear resistance of the geomembrane while maintaining the characteristics of the geotextile but also protects the geomembrane.
Composite Geomembrane Liner
Geotextile serves as a protective layer for geomembrane, protecting the anti-seepage layer from damage. To reduce ultraviolet radiation and increase anti-aging performance, it is best to use the buried method for laying.
(1) The buried method must be used: the covering thickness should not be less than 30cm.
(2) The renovation of the anti-seepage system should consist of: cushion layer, anti-seepage layer, transition layer, and protective layer.
(3) The soil should be solid to avoid uneven settlement and cracks. The grass and tree roots within the anti-seepage range should be removed. Sand or clay with small particle size should be laid as a protective layer on the contact surface with the membrane.
(4) When laying the geomembrane, do not pull it too tight. It is better to have the parts buried in the soil at both ends in a corrugated shape. Especially when anchored with rigid materials, a certain amount of expansion and contraction should be left.
(5) During construction, stones and heavy objects should be avoided from directly hitting the geomembrane. It is best to lay the membrane and cover the protective layer while constructing.
