Water storage facilities developed in recent years using HDPE pond liner as the anti seepage lining system are widely used in sewage treatment, temporary water storage on construction sites, forestry water storage ponds, fire storage tanks, farmland irrigation ponds, aquaculture and many other aspects. The geomembrane ponds are especially suitable for use in areas with severe stratum leakage in mountainous areas. Compared with the traditional masonry or concrete structure, the geomembrane HDPE pond liner has the advantages of excellent impermeability, simple construction and short construction period, especially the cost is much cheaper, which is only about one-fifth of the masonry structure.
Case Analysis
- Location: Costa Rica
- Product: HDPE Pond Liner
- Application: Water Storage Pond Project
Issue
Costa Rica is located in the isthmus of Central America, it has a small land area, sparse rivers, scarce groundwater resources, and a large population with large water consumption. This makes the reservoir more and more important locally. In order to solve the local drinking water problem, the construction of a reservoir is a guarantee against continuous hot weather and drought. The construction of traditional water storage pond project often has problems such as settlement, cracking, and leakage, and the cost is relatively high. Geomembrane HDPE pond liner is the ideal and cost effective anti-seepage lining material and has been widely used in agricultural production due to its low cost and short construction period. Among them, the construction of water storage pond is one of its main applications.
Solution
Costa Rica is rich in natural resources, but there are still droughts. In order to save more water for irrigation of farmland, local farmers usually dig a reservoir together by several villagers. The simple reservoir has simple construction, low cost, great flexibility and convenient use. Local people searched for HDPE pond liner through the website. Knowing the main purpose of the customer, we recommended 1.0mm American standard geomembrane pond liner. In addition, customers inquired about the characteristics of geomembrane pond liner and its laying method. So what should be paid attention to during the laying of geomembrane in the construction of water storage pond?
- Foundation pit treatment. Generally, the water storage pond is built in farmland, and there are many sharp objects such as plant roots and gravels at the bottom of the foundation pit. If it is not handled properly, it will easily cause the impermeable geomembrane pond liner to puncture and cause leakage; Finally, the expected effect will be lost.
- Welding of HDPE geomembrane pond liner. Welding geomembrane HDPE pond liner should be done by professional welding masters as far as possible. Welding masters have rich welding experience. They can respond at any time even if they encounter emergency problems. They can also handle the edges or water injection ports according to their own the experience is in place.
- Reserved amount of adjacent edges. The problem of reserved amount is a common problem. The water storage pond is generally built in partnership without professional drawings. When calculating the overall geomembrane liner dosage, customers often do not calculate the anchorage size. Even if the anchorage size is calculated, they will not purchase more geomembrane when buying. Another reason is water injection. After the impermeable geomembrane pond liner is laid and welded, we then inject some water. The pressure of the water and the soft foundation will also cause problems such as insufficient reserve.
Summarize
As the name suggested, the water storage pond is artificially constructed. Most of the impermeable water storage facilities are important water storage facilities used to collect rainwater. At present, there is a serious shortage of fresh water resources. The reservoir is a low-cost water-saving facility. Because of the excellent impermeable properties of HDPE pond liner, the facilities can effectively save the shortage of water resources and solve the problems of flood control, drainage and water shortage in many cities.
Most of the materials for the water storage ponds choose to use 100% virgin materials HDPE geomembrane liner with double resistance, because the raw materials of the 100% virgin materials are HDPE high-density polyethylene, which is colorless, odorless, and non-toxic, even if it is used as a drinking water reservoir, it is no problem. Double resistance is an anti-oxidant and anti-ultraviolet auxiliary material. The anti-seepage geomembrane will greatly increase its service life after adding this auxiliary material.
Benefits

- Excellent UV resistance.
- Stable low temperature embrittlement resistance
- Short construction period
- Low construction cost
- No need to use traditional brickwork and concrete pouring
- Avoid settlement, cracking and leakage problems in traditional pond construction
