# Factors Affecting Cost:

1. Thickness
   Thicker geomembranes (e.g., 1.5 mm to 3 mm) generally cost more per square meter than thinner ones (e.g., 0.5 mm to 1 mm) due to the increased material usage.
2. Surface Type
   Textured geomembranes are often more expensive than smooth ones because of the additional manufacturing processes involved.
3. Quantity
   Buying in bulk can reduce the cost per square meter. Larger projects or bulk purchases typically benefit from lower per-unit costs.
4. Geographic Location
   Costs can vary by region due to factors like local labor rates, shipping, and import/export duties.
5. Manufacturer and Quality
   Products from well-known manufacturers or those adhering to stringent quality standards might be priced higher, but they often offer better long-term value.

# Exposure Tests #

1) Exposure

• Durability Evaluation: Exposes geomembrane samples to natural environmental conditions to evaluate durability.

2) Water Vapor

• Water Vapor Transmission: Tests the permeability of geomembranes to water vapor.
• These tests help evaluate the performance and durability of geomembranes under various conditions.

# Additional Costs:

• Installation
  Depending on the complexity of the project, the cost of installation can vary widely. Installation costs may include site preparation, welding, seaming, quality control, and other labor-related expenses.
• Transportation
  Shipping costs can add to the overall price, especially for large-scale projects or when importing the material.
• Accessories
  Additional costs might be incurred for related products like geotextiles, drainage systems, or leak detection systems.
