Functions and use of the geomembrane

2024.01.18

Homembrane is a kind of geotechnical improof material composed of plastic film and non-woven fabric, itsimproof performance mainly depends on the improof performance of plastic film. As a key building materialin the field of civil engineering, geomembrane is widely favored for its excellent anti-seepage performanceand durability, and is widely used in various projects. The role of the geomembrane and its application inengineering will be described in detail below.

1、Anti-seepage function: the dominant funetion of geomembrane is anti-seepage function, which caneffectively block the infiltration of groundwater, rainwater, river water and other liquids.

2、Dyke reinforcement: the geomembrane can be used to strengthen the dyke and improve the stability andsafety of the dyke.

3、Soil isolation: the geomembrane has the role of isolating the soil to prevent the interaction between

different soil layers.

4、Pavement enhancement: the geomembrane can be used for pavement construction to enhance the stabilityand carrying capacity of the road surface.

5、Anti-settlement: the geomembrane can prevent the building settlement and improve the stability of thebuilding.

Application of geomembrane in engineering

1、Water conservancy projects: geomembrane is widely used in water conservancy projects, such asreservoirs, DAMS, sluices and other projects.

2、Road construction: geomembrane can be used for road construction, including expressways, urban roads,etc.

3、Construction engineering: the geomembrane can be applied to foundation isolation, basement waterproofand other scenarios.

4、Environmental protection projects: geomembrane plays a role in environmental protection projects, suchas landfills, sewage treatment plants, etc.

Geomembrane plays an important role in various kinds of engineering, and its application helps to improveengineering durability and safety, while saving cost, Looking into the future, with the continuousdevelopment and progress of civil engineering field, the application prospect of geomembrane will bebroader.
