Geomembrane

Geomembrane Manufacturers in Dubai Providing High Quality Products for Various Industries

Geomembranes are low permeability synthetic membranes used for fluid containment and environmental protection applications. They are essentially impermeable sheets made up of materials like HDPE, LLDPE, fPP and PVC that can be used to line infrastructure in contact with water, wastewater or other liquids.

Geomembranes have become indispensable across industries like landfill liners, mining, tunnels, floating covers for water reservoirs, stormwater management, aquaculture and agriculture. With rapid infrastructure development in the UAE, there has been increasing demand for high performance geomembranes from various sectors.

Leading Geomembrane Supplier in the UAE

Our company is one of the pioneering geomembrane manufacturers in Dubai with several decades of experience in fabrication and installation of these technical textiles. Headquartered in Dubai, we supply geomembranes across all seven emirates of UAE including Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.

We also export geomembranes to other GCC countries like Oman, Qatar, Kuwait as well as African nations like Kenya, Somalia, Nigeria etc. Over the years, we have emerged as a trusted supplier for leading companies, contractors, consultants and government organizations involved in major projects across the region.

Range of Geomembrane Thickness Options

Our geomembranes are available in thickness ranging from 0.75 mm to 3 mm, enabling selection as per the exact project requirements:

• 0.75mm: Ideal for applications like temporary pools/ponds, temporary liners etc. This is the most economical option for less critical projects.
• 1mm: The most popular thickness grade used across applications like aquaculture ponds, lake liners, irrigation canals, landfill basins etc. Provides good mechanical properties.
• 1.5mm: Used where high tear and puncture strength is required. Typically seen in mining applications, reservoirs, underground structures etc.
• 2mm: Extremely durable with very high tensile strength. Used in critical containment applications like hazardous waste landfills.
• 3mm: Our thickest geomembrane ideal for highly demanding applications. Provides maximum mechanical protection and chemical resistance.

The thickness is chosen based on the project load conditions, life span requirements and other factors. Our technical team can recommend the right grade based on the specifications.

Key Properties of Our Geomembranes

Some of the important characteristics of our geomembranes include:

• Minimum Fluid Transmission: Our geomembranes offer extremely low permeability with a hydraulic conductivity of 1 x 10-14 m/sec. This minimizes any leakage of liquids.
• High Tensile Strength: Excellent tensile strength ranging from 15 to 35 N/mm2 based on thickness. This ensures the membrane has sufficient mechanical strength for installation and use.
• Elongation Resistance: Elongation at break is around 700% for HDPE geomembranes ensuring the material can handle expansion/contraction pressures.
• Puncture Resistance: Our membranes have a high puncture resistance of 3000N to 4500N depending on grade. This prevents any damage from underlying sharp objects.
• Seam Strength: Our welding process ensures very high seam strength equal or above 90% of parent material tensile strength. This avoids any leakage through joints.
• UV Protection: Additives are used to make the geomembranes UV stabilized for minimum 6 months exposure without significant deterioration.
• Chemical Resistance: Made from HDPE or LLDPE, our membranes offer broad chemical resistance and do not degrade or swell in contact with aggressive fluids.
• Smooth Finish: Textured finish on one side and smooth on the other. Smooth surface minimizes friction for easy deployment.

Our quality assurance team rigorously tests the geomembranes to ensure compliance to international standards like GRI-GM13, GM17, GM18 and others.

Applications of Geomembranes

Our geomembranes are suitable for the following applications:

Landfill Liners

Placing geomembrane along the base and walls of landfills prevents leakage of leachate into groundwater. We offer specialized multi-layered landfill liner systems.

Mining

Lining mine pits, heaps and tailing ponds prevents contamination from acidic run-off. Our membranes are resistant to mine waste chemicals.

Water Containment

Geomembranes are used to line reservoirs, artificial lakes, canals and tanks to minimize seepage losses. We supply large liners for major water bodies.

Wastewater Treatment Plants

Liners are placed in sludge drying beds, aeration lagoons and other units to contain wastewater and sludge. Our technical team provides total solutions.

Aquaculture Ponds

Durable pond liners help maintain water levels and quality by preventing infiltration losses and pollution in fish farming applications.

Stormwater Management

Geomembranes are deployed in rainwater harvesting pits, artificial recharge structures and drainage channels to maximize water capture.

Tunnels and Underground Structures

Our membranes provide an impermeable layer along tunnel side walls and roofs to prevent water ingress and damage.

Secondary Containment

Lining diked areas around tanks and containers containing hazardous liquids adds a second layer of protection against spills and leaks.

Floating Covers

Deploying geomembranes over water bodies reduces evaporation losses and controls algae growth by blocking sunlight.

Agriculture

Geomembranes placed under top soil improves moisture retention, avoids nutrient leaching and enables controlled irrigation in farming applications.

Environmental Protection

Sensitive ecological zones like wetlands and mangroves can be lined with geomembranes to prevent pollution damage and habitat loss.

With our decades of application expertise, we can recommend and customize the most suitable geomembrane solution for your project requirements.

Key Considerations for Geomembrane Installation

Proper installation of geomembranes is crucial to ensure maximum performance and life expectancy. Our technical team handles end-to-end geomembrane deployment as per international best practices:

• Site Preparation: The surface receiving the liner is leveled, compacted and cleared of sharp objects. Geotextile cushioning is provided if required.
• Deployment: The geomembrane rolls are unrolled and temporarily secured on top of the prepared surface. Minimal wrinkles and folds are ensured.
• Seam Welding: Overlapping edges of adjacent membranes are firmly welded together using wedge welds or extrusion welds.
• Anchor Trenches: Exposed edges of the geomembrane are secured in anchor trenches running along the perimeter through backfilling.
• Protection Layers: Geotextiles, sand or soil layers are placed over the installed geomembrane for protection.
• Damage Detection: Spark testing is done over welds and Electrical Leak Location (ELL) survey for entire surface to identify any installation flaws.
• Repairs: Any identified defects are repaired by patching or spot welding to achieve a continuous leak-proof lining.

We have an experienced installation crew along with advanced welding equipment and quality control tools. Our field team ensures complete liner integrity as per specifications.
