Retention Ponds

What Type of Liners Can be Used for Retention Ponds?

Retention Ponds

Builders use retention ponds to store anything from wastewater to chemical liquids during a project. The most critical function of a pond liner is its impermeability. You must use a strong enough liner to hold the contents of a retention pond without leaking. Americover recommends using heavy-duty geomembrane liners to line these ponds and ensure the containment of potentially hazardous materials. Learn more about what type of liners can be used for this application.

What Are Applications for Retention Ponds?

First, it’s important to know why you need a retention pond for your project and the specific issues that the liner will address. For example, stormwater collection may be one reason to use a retention pond. It stores water and in this application, it may require your heavy-duty liner to be pervious rather than impervious. This means that your liner needs water to percolate into designated areas, such as canals or streams. On the other hand, you may need a waterproof liner for impervious containment for hazardous projects involving mining slurry or chemical liquids. This prevents harmful pollutants from leaking into the ground and contaminating nearby environments and water sources.

Other applications include:

  • Stormwater Collection
  • Flood Prevention
  • Mining Waste Storage
  • Chemical Sludge Containment
  • Pollutant Reduction

What Are My Options for Retention Pond Liners?

Depending on what your application requires, you will need a heavy-duty liner to get the job done. Americover has a range of products to choose from. See our recommended products below.
