# 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:
- Thickness Reduction and Squeeze-Out Loss
- Measuring System for Thickness Control
- Calculation Methods for Composite Geomembrane
- Effect of Thickness on Antioxidant Depletion
- 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.
