60 mil HDPE liner, also known as 1.5mm HDPE geomembrane liner, is the preferred product for heavy duty lining projects such as road or walkway construction. HDPE geomembrane liner is resistant to many different solvents and are the most widely used geomembrane liner in the world. The HDPE geomembrane liner, especially the 60 mil HDPE liner, provides higher tensile strength and can withstand higher temperatures, it also has exceptional chemical and ultraviolet resistance properties make it an extremely cost-effective product. The HDPE geomembrane liner is the ideal geotechnical material for road construction projects.
What is 60 Mil HDPE Liner?
The dimensions of the 60 mil HDPE liner are 1.5 mm, providing enhanced physical strength and lower permeability compared to the 40 mil HDPE liner. The increased thickness and strength contribute to improved weathering resistance, rendering it well-suited for exposed applications. The 60 Mil HDPE liner is very low permeability synthetic membrane liner or barrier used with any geotechnical engineering related material so as to control fluid (or gas) migration in a human-made project, structure, or system. The manufacturing of geomembrane HDPE liner begins with the production of the raw materials, which include the polymer resin, and various additives such as antioxidants, plasticizers, fillers, carbon black, and lubricants. These raw materials are then processed into sheets of various widths and thickness by extrusion, calendering, and/or spread coating. Three methods used to manufacture geomembranes. All our geomembranes are manufactured in accordance with GRI GM13 standard.
CASE STUDY
- Location – Canada
- Product – 60 mil HDPE Liner
- Application – Road Construction Project
Issue
The Canadian customer’s sulfur facility is located downstream from a gas plant. Sulfur, a byproduct of gas processing, is piped to this facility. When demand drops, sulfur is stored in blocks; when it rises, the sulfur is processed again. The storage area is divided into East and West sections, with a walkway and pouring towers separating the West section. To prevent soil contamination, containment systems are needed. We provided a solution for safe crossing over the liner while managing runoff and allowing access to the pouring tower.
Solution
In Spring 2021, a Canadian customer contacted us to buy smooth HDPE liner for a small road. They needed a 3-meter wide walkway in the West End. We suggested a 60 mil HDPE liner due to its UV resistance and strength at low temperatures. HDPE liners resist chemicals well. An access tunnel was built between two sulfur blocks for the pouring tower. The project covered 16,600 square meters of liner over an old bitumen channel. We installed the liner and geotextile for cushioning and protection.

60 mil HDPE Geomembrane Installation Guide
Before laying the geomembrane, the bottom of the fish pond must be flattened. First, the bottom businesses must be compacted and flattened. It is required that the bottom of the pool is inclined to the drainage outlet as a whole, and the bottom of the pool is basically level without unevenness. In particular, we should not expose a stone, tree stump and other sharp objects, so as not to puncture or scratch the impermeable membrane. In order to prolong the service life of the geomembrane network. The design of the fish pond wall requires that the enterprise does not need a geomembrane because the fish pond wall is a reinforced engineering concrete pouring system structure.
Key points of geomembrane paving
The adjacent seam of HDPE geomemrbane liner need to be welded. When welding, the joints should be neat, and the welds should be firm and flat without leakage. At the same time, other different parts of the geomembrane should be checked and whether there may be scratches caused by transportation, handling, etc., and cracks should be repaired in time.
Area requirements
Since the bottom of the fish pond may sink after water storage, and the bottom itself is not smooth enough, there must be space to lay geomembrane to avoid being too straight and flat.
Surrounding joint technology treatment
Since the geomembrane in the economic park is only laid at the bottom of the fish pond and does not cover our surrounding walls, the treatment of the joint between the wall bottom and the geomembrane is more important and critical. Excavate a foundation groove with a depth of 30cm × 30cm at the bottom of the enclosure wall, press the edge of the geomembrane into the foundation groove, pour reinforced concrete to level the foundation groove, and effectively prevent the leakage of the wall foundation.
