Geomembrane Applications

With the development of modern engineering technology and material science, geomembrane, as an important 

geosynthetic material, has been widely used in many fields. Geomemofilm plays an important role in improving 

engineering quality and reducing engineering cost due to its excellent functions of seepage prevention, isolation 

and reinforcement.

Geomembrane is a kind of geosynthetic material with plastic film as impermeable substrate, which has the 

characteristics of light weight, high tensile strength, low elongation, corrosion resistance and aging resistance. 

According to experts, "geomembrane plays an irreplaceable role in many fields such as environmental protection, 

water conservancy projects, transportation construction, and agricultural irrigation because of its unique properties."

In the field of environmental protection, geomembrane is widely used in the seepage prevention system of landfill 

sites, sewage treatment plants and other facilities. For example, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has 

mandated that all new landfills must be impermeable with geomembrane at least 6mm thick.

In water conservancy projects, geomembrane is used for seepage prevention treatment of reservoirs, channels, 

canals, etc. For example, in the South-to-North Water diversion project in China, a large number of geomemes are 

used, which effectively reduces the leakage loss in the water resources transportation process.

In traffic construction, geomembrane is used for the reinforcement and protection of infrastructure such as roads, 

Bridges and tunnels. For example, in the construction process of German highways, geomembrane will be added 

to the roadbed to improve the stability and bearing capacity of the foundation.

In agriculture, geomembranes are used to improve soil water management and increase crop yields. For example, 

a study in Iran found that using geomembrane to cover farmland can reduce water evaporation and improve irrigation 

efficiency, thereby increasing the yield of crops such as wheat.

In short, geomembrane, with its versatility and excellent performance, plays an increasingly important role in modern 

engineering. In the future, with the development of new materials and technological progress, the application prospect 

of geomembrane will be broader.
