Geomembranes are synthetic materials that are commonly used for containment applications in various industries, including mining, agriculture, waste management, and construction. There are several types of geomembranes available, each with unique properties and installation techniques. One of the most commonly used geomembranes is high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is strong, durable, and resistant to chemicals and UV radiation. HDPE can be installed using either extrusion or wedge welding techniques. Extrusion welding involves heating the surface of the HDPE and using a welding rod to join the two surfaces together, while wedge welding involves pressing a heated metal wedge between two overlapping sheets of HDPE to create a bond. Another type of geomembrane is polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which has good resistance to chemicals and UV radiation. PVC can be installed using hot-air welding techniques, which involves heating the PVC material and using a specialized tool to create a fusion bond between the two surfaces. Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a more flexible type of geomembrane that has greater elongation properties than HDPE. LLDPE can be installed using extrusion or fusion welding techniques, which are similar to the techniques used for HDPE. Bituminous geomembrane (BGM) is a type of geomembrane that is made up of a bituminous layer sandwiched between two layers of geotextile fabric. BGM is typically used in waterproofing applications for structures such as basements, tunnels, and roofs. BGM can be installed using torch welding, which involves heating the bituminous layer with a torch to create a fusion bond between the layers. Finally, geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) is a type of geomembrane that consists of a layer of bentonite clay sandwiched between two layers of geotextile fabric. GCLs are typically used for environmental containment applications and can be installed using overlapping seams with a thin layer of bentonite inbetween. It is essential to consult with an experienced installer to ensure that the appropriate type of geomembrane is selected and installed correctly to meet the specific needs of the application. The installer should also perform construction quality control checks during installation to ensure that the installation is done correctly and meets the required standards for primary and secondary containment. The installer should also have experienced project managers and installation crews to ensure the project is completed efficiently and effectively.

Penteco offers a 12-month Installation Warranty for its work, covering superior quality and compliance with industry standards, free from defects or deficiencies. However, the warranty does not extend to claims resulting from design, composition, or manufacturing of Penteco products, and the warranty excludes damages caused by third-party repairs or alterations, abnormal weather conditions, accidents, labor disturbances, vandalism, war, or Deficiencies discovered after the Warranty Period. Upon discovering any Deficiencies, the Customer must provide written notice within seven days, and Penteco may inspect them to determine the cause and whether they are Approved Claims. The warranty covers repairing or replacing damaged or destroyed Penteco Products due to Approved Claims, subject to the conditions and limitations stated in the warranty. Penteco requires full access to the affected area before inspecting or correcting Approved Claims, and the warranty does not cover expenses, loss, or damages associated with investigating or determining the approval of a Warranty Claim. The warranty also limits Penteco's liability to the customer's exclusive remedy for any Deficiencies, and Penteco will not be liable for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages.

It is generally recommended to perform a leak detection survey post-installation, even if the liner system has been installed to standard quality. A leak detection survey can help to identify any defects or damage that may have occurred during the installation process and to ensure that the liner system is functioning properly. There are several potential issues that can arise when a leak location survey is not conducted in addition to relying on a leak detection system. One of the most common issues is delayed leak repairs, as the leak detection system will not pinpoint the location of the leak, which can make it more difficult to locate and repair the leak. Additionally, if leaks go undetected or are not repaired in a timely manner, the cost of repairs can increase significantly. While a leak detection system is useful in many applications, there are still many situations where a leak location survey is necessary in order to fully detect and repair leaks. In some cases, the use of both a leak detection system and a leak location survey may be required in order to ensure the most accurate and efficient leak detection and repair process. It is important to carefully consider the specific needs and goals of the application when deciding which leak detection methods to use, as some systems may be more effective in certain situations and may need to be left unchanged.
