GEOMEMBRANES

New Multi-Panel Accumulator Welder for Flexible Geomembranes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-pcHwB0dr8

Carpi Exposed Geomembrane System Restores Watertightness to Paradela Dam
The waterproofing liner is a 3mm thick geomembrane formulated with a special compound of polyvinylchloride, plasticised with high molecular weight branched plasticisers, and heat-bonded during fabrication to a 500g/m2 non-woven needle punched polypropylene geotextile. The liner is anchored with a mechanical tensioning system, and sealed at the peripheries with a watertight mechanical seal. A drainage system divided into three separate compartments allows for monitoring of the performance of the geomembrane.
