As a contractor, you know how much work is involved with installing a large-scale pond liner or geomembrane. Design and excavation take considerable planning and energy. Using roll stock liners may save you money, but it might not save you as much time as you anticipate, even if it is ready to ship to the job site when you place your order. Consider these top three benefits of prefabricated pond liners before you purchase.
Prefabricated Liners Reduce Installation Time and Labor Costs
When time is of the essence, you may feel tempted to order a roll stock pond liner, but don’t let the idea of convenience fool you. Since roll stock liners aren’t designed to fit your unique project, you will likely need to seam your liner at the job site. A prefabricated liner can help you avoid common labor challenges associated with field seaming, such as scheduling conflicts with your installation team and unpredictable weather patterns that compromise the integrity of the seam.
Fewer Seams and Patches Means Greater Strength
A geomembrane liner is only as strong as its seams. It could spell disaster for your large-scale containment system if your seams are not joined properly. Field seaming poses a variety of challenges due to unpredictable variables on a job site such as:
- Installation team changes
- Temperature swings
- Unfavorable weather and wind conditions
Prefabricated liners, however, are joined in a controlled indoor environment under conditions that give factory seams a much higher peel adhesion. Factory seams also undergo testing and inspection to ensure a high-quality end result.
Some projects may require a liner that is too large for a prefabricated seam. As a result, the liner will need to be field seamed to avoid damage during shipping. In any case, you still reduce the number of field seams required – and increase its strength – when you prefabricate your pond liner.
