Welding HDPE Liner
Welding HDPE Liner – liners is a crucial process in ensuring the integrity of containment systems like landfills, ponds, and other water retention systems. Proper welding ensures that the seams between liner sheets are strong, leak-proof, and durable.

# Site Preparation
- Clearing and Grading
It is necessary to remove any possible risks, including sharp items, plants, and debris, from the installation area. - Subgrade Preparation
The layer directly below the geomembrane, or subgrade, needs to be hard and smooth.The surface needs to be graded to ensure uniformity and lessen undulations that could strain the geomembrane. - Geotextile Underlay (if required)
Underneath the geomembrane, a nonwoven geotextile layer can be added for stability and further puncture protection.
#Welding Equipment
- Hot Wedge Welders
Best for long, straight seams. - Extrusion Welders
Ideal for detailed work, repairs, and seams that require a thicker bond. - Hot Air Welders
Useful for small, precise welds and detailed repairs.
#Applications
- Landfills: HDPE liners are used to prevent leachate from contaminating groundwater.
- Ponds: Ensures a waterproof barrier in artificial ponds.
- Tunnels and Canals: Provides a waterproof layer in construction projects.
