HDPE waterproofing membrane, also called HDPE geomembrane liner, is the low permeable synthetic membrane liner and geotechnical engineering materials which are widely used for solid waste containment, mining and water containment applications. BPM brand HDPE waterproofing membrane has excellent resistance to UV radiation and is suitable for exposed conditions. Our HDPE geomembrane liner is fabricated by the state of the art automatic geomembrane production lines and advanced three layered pressing technology in accordance with GRI GM13 standard. Compared with traditional concrete, asphalt and compacted clay, smooth geomembrane HDPE Liner has proven to be far more cost effective, environmentally safe, excellent durable, chemically resistant, fast deployment and easy transportation. It is the suitable geosynthetic product for landfill projects.

1 Selection Guidie to HDPE Waterproofing Membrane

When selecting an HDPE waterproofing membrane for landfill liner systems in the Philippines, it is important to consider certain criteria to ensure optimal performance and environmental protection. Here is a selection guide to follow:

  • HDPE Liner Thickness: The HDPE waterproofing membrane should have a thickness of 60 mils (1.5 mm). This thickness provides the necessary strength and durability to withstand the conditions of the landfill and effectively prevent seepage.Permeability: Choose a membrane composed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or a similar material known for its extremely low permeability. This characteristic is crucial for creating an impermeable barrier that prevents the migration of contaminants into the surrounding soil and groundwater.
  • Chemical and Physical Resistance: The selected HDPE membrane should possess chemical and physical characteristics that remain unaffected by waste placement and contact with leachate. It should be resistant to the corrosive effects of various chemicals found in landfill environments to maintain its integrity and performance over time.
  • Application Specifics: Consider the specific requirements of the landfill project, such as whether the HDPE liner will be used in a final cover system or as part of the liner system. For landfill final cover systems, a minimum 40 mil HDPE liner or a 60 mil LDPE liner is recommended. The 40 mil HDPE liner ensures proper field seams and overall liner system integrity.

By adhering to these selection criteria, the chosen HDPE waterproofing membrane will provide an effective barrier against seepage, preventing the migration of contaminants into the surrounding environment. This selection guide ensures the long-term success and environmental protection of landfill projects in the Philippines.

2 HDPE Waterproofing Membrane Philippines for Landfill Project

Our company received a request from a customer in the Philippines for a mining landfill project. To meet the project requirements, a 2.0mm HDPE geomembrane will be used for the bottom lining system. Complementing this, various geosynthetic products will be employed for drainage and reinforcement purposes. Furthermore, a 1.5mm HDPE geomembrane liner will be utilized to cover the waste rubbish within the landfill.

By utilizing these materials, we will deliver an effective and reliable solution for containing and managing the mining waste. The HDPE geomembranes offer excellent impermeability, ensuring the proper containment of potentially harmful substances and preventing environmental contamination. The additional geosynthetic products will enhance drainage and provide reinforcement to maintain the stability and integrity of the landfill structure.

This comprehensive approach guarantees the necessary containment and environmental protection required for the mining landfill project. Our team is committed to delivering high-quality solutions that meet the specific needs and regulations of the customer, ensuring a successful and environmentally responsible project execution.

4 Benefits for HDPE Waterproofing Membrane Liner for Landfill Project

HDPE waterproofing membrane liners for landfills are designed to withstand prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation without degradation. They contain carbon black, which enhances their UV resistance and prevents the liner from deteriorating due to sun exposure.

Furthermore, HDPE waterproofing membrane liners offer several benefits for landfill projects. Firstly, their impermeability plays a vital role in preventing the leakage of contaminants into the surrounding soil and groundwater. By acting as an effective barrier, they safeguard the environment by preventing the migration of liquids and gases from the waste material.

Secondly, the chemical resistance of HDPE liners is crucial in landfills that house various types of waste, including potentially corrosive or hazardous substances. The liners’ excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals ensures that they can effectively protect the environment from potential pollution.

Thirdly, the durability of HDPE membrane liners is a key advantage in harsh landfill conditions. With their high strength and resilience, they can withstand the weight of waste materials, settlement, and external loads without compromising their integrity. This durability ensures their long-lasting performance and contributes to the overall stability and effectiveness of the landfill system.

Lastly, HDPE waterproofing membrane liners exhibit excellent UV resistance. They are specifically designed to endure prolonged exposure to UV radiation without deteriorating. The inclusion of carbon black further enhances their ability to withstand UV rays, ensuring their reliability and longevity even under intense sunlight.

In summary, HDPE waterproofing membrane liners provide impermeability, chemical resistance, durability, and UV resistance, making them an ideal choice for landfill projects. These benefits contribute to the effective containment of waste materials, protection of the environment, and long-term performance of landfill systems.
