Geomembrane

Geomembrane Manufacturers in the UAE - Quality Products for Versatile Applications

Geomembranes are low permeability synthetic membranes used for lining applications in geotechnical, environmental, and containment projects. With the rapid infrastructure development and industrialization in the UAE, the demand for quality geomembranes has increased significantly over the years. As a leading geomembrane manufacturer in the UAE, we supply an extensive range of polyethylene (PE/HDPE) geomembranes in various thicknesses for diverse applications across the country and beyond.

Introduction to Geomembranes

Geomembranes are essentially impermeable membranes made using polymeric materials like polyethylene, PVC, EPDM, etc. They come in sheets or rolls with thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 3mm and are manufactured in factories under controlled conditions. Geomembranes provide a cost-effective and reliable method for containing any fluid or gas in ponds, canals, reservoirs, landfills, tunnels, dams, and other containment structures.

Due to their flexibility, durability, chemical resistance and low permeability, geomembranes are widely used for:

• Liners in landfills, mining, stormwater management
• Irrigation canals, artificial lakes, aquaculture ponds
• Wastewater treatment facilities
• Secondary containment for chemical/oil storage tanks
• Floating covers for reservoirs
• Waterproofing for tunnels, underground structures
• Moisture barriers in landscaping, agriculture

Polyethylene is the most common type of geomembrane available today due to its strength, chemical inertness, and longevity. At our manufacturing facility in UAE, we produce HDPE geomembranes in 5 different thickness - 0.75mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, and 3mm for varied customer requirements.

Applications of Geomembranes in UAE

The UAE has witnessed massive infrastructure growth across sectors like oil and gas, construction, power, mining, marine, environment, etc. This has significantly increased the demand for engineered geosynthetic products like geomembranes for containment, separation, reinforcement, and filtration applications. Here are some of the major applications of our HDPE geomembranes in UAE projects:

Landfill Liners

Geomembranes are installed as base liners in landfills below the waste layer and as caps over the top. Our HDPE geomembranes prevent leachate leakage into groundwater and contain the landfill. We manufacture custom specification liners for new landfills and supply replacement liners for old landfills in UAE.

Mining Applications

Lining mining ponds, heap leach pads, tailing dams with geomembranes contain the mine waste and prevent groundwater pollution. Our technical team provides seam welding services on-site for successful liner installation in mining projects across UAE.

Irrigation Canals

Lining irrigation canals in arid regions like UAE with geomembranes prevents water seepage losses and wastage. Our custom fabricated PE canal liners come with anchors/ballast that keep the lining in place.

Artificial Lakes

HDPE geomembranes are widely used to line artificial lakes in large projects across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, etc. Our technical designers provide turnkey geomembrane liner installation for artificial water bodies.

Fuel Storage Containment

Geomembranes contain potential spills and leaks from underground fuel storage tanks at petrol stations, refineries, etc. We offer custom made secondary containment liners for USTs, ASTs in the region.

Aquaculture Lining

Aquaculture ponds lined with our HDPE geomembranes contain the water, prevent leakage and help maintain optimum environment for the fish. Our liners are preferred by commercial fish farms in UAE.

Stormwater Ponds

Stormwater detention ponds lined with geomembranes store and treat the rainwater runoff before releasing into the ground. Our pond liners are engineered to UAE climatic conditions.

Floating Covers

Geomembranes are used as floating covers on reservoirs, anaerobic digesters, tanks, etc. Our custom fabricated floating covers minimize evaporation losses and curb greenhouse emissions.

Tunnels, Dam Sealing

Our geomembranes waterproof tunnels, underground metro projects and seal dams in UAE. We provide onsite installation services for successful deployment of liners in such projects.

Wastewater Treatment

Geomembranes act as impermeable barriers in SBR, MBBR, MBR based treatment systems. We supply specific type of chemical resistant liners for water treatment applications.

Our Geomembranes - Features and Benefits

We manufacture a broad range of HDPE geomembranes from 0.75mm to 3mm thickness, ideal for UAE's hot and arid conditions. Here are their key features and advantages:

Durability

Our HDPE geomembranes are engineered for high tensile strength, puncture resistance and elongation break. They provide long-term durability with a design life over 50 years.

Versatile Thickness

With options from 0.75mm to 3mm, customers can choose the apt thickness based on application, subgrade condition, project lifecycle cost. Thicker geomembranes provide higher puncture strength.

Chemical Resistance

Made from pure virgin grade polyethylene, our geomembranes offer excellent chemical and environmental stress crack resistance.

Thermal Stability

Our HDPE geomembranes are designed to withstand extreme temperatures from -50°C to +80°C prevalent in the UAE.

UV/Oxidation Resistance

Special antioxidants are added to prevent UV degradation and oxidation from exposure to harsh elements.

Flexibility

The geomembranes are supplied in rolls and can conform to unique design shapes, irregular subgrades.

Advanced Welding Technology

We use automated double wedge welding technology for strong, homogeneous seams with low leakage rates.

Quality Assurance

Our geomembranes are manufactured under stringent quality control as per GRI test standards and are certified for use.

Technical Support

Our expert team provides complete technical support for design, specification, testing, installation to ensure correct deployment.

Sustainable

Our geomembranes are 100% recyclable at the end of their design life. This supports sustainability initiatives in the UAE.

With the above features, our polyethylene geomembranes provide a durable, long-lasting and eco-friendly solution for containment applications. They ensure secured fluid containment, groundwater protection and environmental preservation in UAE's mega construction and infrastructure projects.

• The HDPE raw material is fed into advanced single screw extruders for homogenous melting.
• High-tech extrusion dies transform the melted polymer into continuous, smooth sheets.
• Sheet thickness is precisely controlled through gauging systems and auto-calibration units.

Fabrication

• The extruded sheets are fabricated into large panels or rolled into spools as per order specifications.
• Rolls can be fabricated up to 6m width and 100m length as required.
