Geomembranes are synthetic membrane liners used in various engineering applications to control fluid migration. These impermeable barriers are typically made from polymeric materials such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or chlorosulfonated polyethylene. Geomembranes serve as critical components in environmental protection, preventing contamination of soil and groundwater by containing hazardous substances.

The primary applications of geomembranes include landfill liners, mining operations, water reservoirs, and canal linings. In waste management, they form the bottom and side barriers of landfills, preventing leachate from escaping into the surrounding environment. The materials used must be resistant to chemicals, UV radiation, and mechanical stresses to ensure long-term performance.

Installation techniques for geomembranes involve careful surface preparation, welding of seams, and quality control measures to maintain integrity. The effectiveness of a geomembrane system depends on proper design, material selection, and installation procedures. Advances in polymer technology have led to the development of more durable and cost-effective geomembranes, expanding their use in various environmental engineering projects worldwide.
