Large Pond Liner

Durable Large Pond Liners - Selection, Design and Installation

Constructing ponds larger than an acre in size for landscape, aquaculture or wastewater applications requires proper planning and robust liner systems. As an established large pond liner company, we provide durable geomembrane containment solutions for ponds, lakes and lagoons of any size.

Need for Proper Liners in Large Ponds

Lining ponds properly is crucial to:

  • Prevent leakage, seepage losses and water wastage
  • Avoid damage to surrounding infrastructure from uncontrolled water escape
  • Maintain water quality by preventing ingress or egress of pollutants
  • Minimize maintenance costs for water make-up due to losses
  • Ensure public and environmental safety from water leakage

Large ponds have high water volumes making liner integrity even more critical. The consequences of liner failure can be disastrous.

Selection Criteria for Large Pond Liners

Key aspects to consider when selecting liners for large ponds include:

Containment Purpose - Potable water, wastewater, irrigation, aquaculture etc. determine liner material compatibility.

Pond Size and Depth - Total surface area and maximum water depth impact liner sizing, seaming needs.

Subgrade Conditions - Soil type, presence of sharp rocks or tree roots affect liner puncture risks.

Climatic Factors - High ambient temperature, wind or UV exposure levels must be accounted for.

Liner Properties - Durability, puncture strength, seam strengths and permanence needed.

Installation Constraints - Available equipment, site access issues affect liner deployment feasibility.

Project Budget – Thicker and higher performance liners have higher costs.

Our technical experts consider these aspects for appropriate large pond liner recommendations.

Our Large Pond Liners

Based on project needs, we offer following liner options suitable for ponds larger than 1 acre in size:

HDPE - High density polyethylene offers optimal combination of strength, chemical resistance, and multi-decade service life. HDPE is the most widely used liner for large ponds globally.

LLDPE - Linear low-density polyethylene formulations provide maximum flexibility to conform to soil contours. Used for ponds with curved edges.

**PVC **- Polyvinyl chloride geomembranes have very high mechanical properties and weathering resistance. A reliable performer.

EPDM - Rubber liners made using ethylene propylene diene monomer offer exceptional flexibility. Used where high aesthetics are needed.

Bentonite - These use natural sodium bentonite clay to form an impermeable liner when hydrated. An economical option.

We recommend appropriate pond liners based on technical parameters and site-specific conditions.

Large Pond Liner - Installation Methodology

Proper liner installation is key to realizing design life. Our installation process includes:

  • Topographic surveying and technical design of the liner system
  • Earthwork to shape pond slopes and bottom as per contours
  • Precise grading and compaction of subgrade to receive liner
  • Liner fabrication in factory into large, seamless panels
  • Liner transportation, handling and deployment on site
  • Field seaming of liner panels into a continuous, leak-proof barrier
  • Destructive and non-destructive testing of all field seams
  • Repairing identified liner defects using suitable methods
  • Anchoring top liner edges securely through backfilling or weighted ballast
  • As-built documentation and obtaining client acceptance certificate

Our systematic large pond liner installation methodology results in long-term watertight containment.
