Reasons why geomembranes are more suitable for seepage prevention in reservoir dams

Geomembrane plays a very important role. It serves as the separation layer between garbage and the ground, protects the soil, and can also prevent bacteria in garbage and sewage from polluting water sources. It is used in anti-seepage in major industries. The powerful anti-seepage effect of geomembrane makes it a commonly used anti-seepage material in geosynthetics, and it also has this irreplaceable anti-seepage effect.

Geomembrane anti-seepage technology is mainly used in large-area water seepage caused by the anti-seepage performance and construction quality of dam projects, especially for reservoir anti-seepage reinforcement projects with inconvenient transportation and lack of materials. Selecting appropriate geomembrane materials for anti-seepage reinforcement of upstream slopes is more economical and reasonable. Vertical pavement anti-seepage technology can be used for dam foundation leakage. It is worth noting that local leakage of dam is not suitable for geomembrane anti-seepage technology, and geomembrane is suitable for overall anti-seepage technology.

The selection of anti-seepage membrane materials in reservoir anti-seepage reinforcement project is closely related to the project cost and safety of reservoir anti-seepage system. The selection of geomembrane should consider the performance, price, quality and service life of various membrane materials, and choose the geomembrane with higher cost performance. Compared with plastic film, geomembrane has a longer service life and higher price, geomembrane has a larger friction coefficient, better mechanical properties and longer service life, and better fracture resistance.
