Geo-membrane
is continues polymeric sheet, which is very flexible and is used as
a barrier for liquids or vapors. These sheets are manufactured and
fabricated in factor and transported the job.
PVC
Geo-membrane is an effective and long lasting impervious sheet help
to prevent the loss of water through seepage. PVC Geo-membrane acts
as a barrier when lined in watercourses, reservoirs, ponds and other
area where water is absorbed and lost through the soil. PVC
geo-membrane is also used in the agricultural, construction and
industrial sector. Since 1950, PVC geo-membrane has been extensively
used globally for water conservation.
Furthermore,
PVC geo-membrane is also used in construction industry for water
proofing purposes. Due to PVC high strength polymer base, PVC
geo-membrane is flexible and provides excellent three-dimensional
elongation.
PVC
geo-membrane lining are very effective as compared to other lining
because it is easy to produce and most of its raw material are
indigenous, that is why it posses batter physical, chemical and
mechanical properties than PE and other lining. It has been use
successfully in various countries like Canada ( PGI-PVC Geo-membrane
institute) and United States of America ( refer to U.S.A department
of interior Bureau of Reclamation)
-
Rec-ERC-95-01
-
Use
of Geo-membrane in Bureau of Reclamation canals, reservoir and
dam rehabilitations.
-
In
the Bureau of Reclamation’s 35+years of Geo-membrane
experience, PVC geo-membrane have proven especially effective
where limited access, short down times, long haul distances and
potential for freezing and thawing are factors.
-
First
PVC experimentation in 1957.
-
PVC
material of choice in 47 of 51 projects.
The
water proof sheet shall be non-reinforced plasticized PVC to uniform
thickness 7 surface texture. After manufacturing it shall have a
range of chemical resistance of pH-2 to pH-13 with max. variation in
tensile strength and elongation at yield of 20%.
