Geomembranes in Construction:

In construction, geomembranes are widely used for purposes such as waterproofing, ground stabilisation and erosion control.
They are particularly popular in the following areas:

• Waterproofing: High-strength, watertight geomembranes are used to waterproof below foundations and on building roofs, protecting structures from water and maintaining structural integrity.
• Storage Basins and Ponds: Water-retaining structures such as storage basins, ponds and reservoirs are lined with geomembrane to prevent leakage, reducing water loss and environmental impact.
• Ground Stabilisation: Used for ground stabilisation, geomembranes prevent soil erosion and keep the ground stable – a method especially common on sloping or rocky terrain.
• Tunnels and Underpasses: In tunnel and underpass construction, geomembranes are used to balance water and earth pressure and to protect the structure, increasing durability and reducing the risk of collapse.
• Waste Management: Geomembranes are used to store and contain waste generated during construction, minimising adverse environmental effects.
