What Is a Geomembrane? Types, Properties and Engineering Applications Explained

Among all geosynthetic materials used in civil and environmental engineering, the geomembrane is arguably the most critical in high-stakes containment applications. It forms the primary hydraulic barrier in landfill liner systems, the impermeable lining in water storage reservoirs, the waterproofing layer beneath green roofs, and the environmental protection barrier in mining operations. This article explains what a geomembrane is, how it differs from other geosynthetics, ...

Extra volume in waste containment

In the construction of waste containments there is an economic advantage of using geosynthetics products. As seen in the first picture if you use traditional clay and gravel layers in the landfill you can have about 5000 m3 of volume. But as seen in the second picture if geosynthetics materials are used in the waste disposal area a gain of extra volume will be about ...

Steel water storage silo / tank

Another usage of geosynthetics materials are in steel water reservoirs. These are very practical and easy to use water storage systems. They come with all the parts inside and you construct it on site. Their heights are upto 4.64 meters and diameters vary from 1.85 to 30.95 meters. Inside the steel construction there is a nonwoven geotextile liner to protect the waterproof tank liner. The ...

Capping system for waste areas

Instead of using traditional (mineral) products if we use geosynthetics materials for the capping of waste disposal areas we may have extra storage. So, to use geosynthetics has economic advantages against the traditional products. Also it is more easy to use geosynthetics (geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids, geocomposites, geomats). On the picture above you can see a simple comparison of “traditional” mineral- and “geosynthetic” capping of landfills. ...
