Containment and waterproofing

HDPE / LLDPE geomembranes

Polyethylene sheets for primary containment in ponds, impoundments, leach pads, landfills, and reservoirs.

Black geomembrane rolls stored for supply

Material, thickness, and finish are defined according to the containment system

A continuous barrier designed from project conditions

HDPE and LLDPE geomembranes form the primary impermeable barrier in containment systems. Selection must respond to the fluid, geometry, supporting surface, exposure, and loads the sheet will experience during installation and service life.

Polymer, thickness, and surface finish are not assessed in isolation. Welded seams, anchors, penetrations, mechanical protection, and drainage layers completing the system must also be coordinated.

Products in this family

Review each data sheet for properties, formats, and application criteria. Availability and configuration are confirmed for each project.

Common applications

  • Ponds, tanks, and reservoirs
  • Leach pads and systems
  • Impoundments and containment works
  • Landfills and waste treatment

Selection criteria

Defining a geomembrane requires reviewing polymer, thickness, smooth or textured finish, interface friction, deformation capacity, and joining method. The final solution depends on the engineering and complete layer system.

Share drawings, specifications, estimated quantities, and site conditions so the applicable alternative can be reviewed before quoting.

Project integration

Continuity, welding, and protection must be planned together

Before deployment, the support, slopes, anchor trenches, and penetration locations are reviewed. This coordination organizes panels, reduces interferences, and keeps areas for executing and controlling welds accessible.

The geomembrane must be protected against puncture and construction loads according to the condition of the base and upper layers. Control of seams, repairs, and details must form part of the installation procedure rather than being left for later review.

Questions before specifying

Initial answers to organize the available information. The final definition must consider the particular conditions of each project.

When is a textured surface advisable?
When the design requires increased friction between the geomembrane and adjacent layers, especially on slopes. The need and texture type must be validated using the project's geotechnical information.
Can HDPE and LLDPE be specified as equivalents?
Not automatically. They behave differently in terms of rigidity, deformation, and installation conditions; selection must respond to geometry and expected loads.
What information is needed to prepare a quote?
Estimated area, geometry, drawings, requested thickness, finish type, location, timeline, and expected installation or supervision scope.
