Composite Geomembrane Application in Seepage Control

Composite geomembrane with geotextile is a highly effective solution utilized in seepage control projects. This composite material combines the strength and durability of geotextile, typically a woven or non-woven fabric, with the impermeability of geomembrane, a flexible polymeric membrane. The geotextile reinforces the geomembrane, enhancing its resistance to punctures and tears, while the geomembrane provides a barrier against water seepage. The integration of these two materials forms a robust and seamless system that is ideal for applications such as dam liners, canal linings, and landfill covers, where strict impermeability and durability are crucial. The Composite geomembrane with geotextile ensures long-term protection against seepage, maintaining structural integrity and environmental safety.

Key Advantages                                                                                                                                               

  1. Composite Functional Design
    Multilayer structure formed by thermal bonding of geomembrane and nonwoven geotextile (typical configuration: 0.3-2.0mm HDPE + 200-600g/m² fabric), achieving synergistic waterproofing and drainage. Lab tests show permeability coefficients as low as 1×10⁻¹³ cm/s.

  2. Enhanced Mechanical Properties
    Demonstrates tensile strength of 20-40kN/m  with elongation exceeding 400%, capable of accommodating 3-5% subgrade differential settlement.

  3. Environmental Resistance
    Certified per GB/T17643-2011, maintains performance stability in pH 3-11 environments, -50℃~+60℃ temperature ranges, and after 3000 hours UV exposure.
