# Key Steps in LLDPE Geomembrane Installation

1) Site Preparation

  • Surface Grading
    Ensure that the surface where the geomembrane will be installed is smooth, free from debris, sharp objects, and large stones that could puncture the membrane.
  • Subgrade Preparation
    The subgrade should be compacted and free of any protrusions. In some cases, a geotextile layer is placed beneath the geomembrane to provide additional protection.

2) Material Handling

  • Unloading
    Care should be taken when unloading the geomembrane rolls to avoid damage. Use appropriate lifting equipment to prevent tears or punctures.
  • Storage
    Store the rolls in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent degradation before Installation.

Here are some key points regarding geomembrane thickness:

  1. Thickness Reduction and Squeeze-Out Loss
  2. Measuring System for Thickness Control
  3. Calculation Methods for Composite Geomembrane
  4. Effect of Thickness on Antioxidant Depletion
  5. Tensile Strength of Bituminous Geomembrane Seams

Applications:

a) Landfills: Used as liners and covers to prevent leachate from contaminating groundwater.
b) Ponds and Reservoirs: Lining to retain water and prevent seepage.
c) Mining: Containment of tailings and waste materials.
d) Environmental Containment: Used in hazardous waste facilities to prevent contamination.
