BENEFITS AND COST ADVANTAGES OF FABRICATED GEOMEMBRANES (2011)

The use of fabricated geomembranes can facilitate installation of a containment system, closure cell, final cover system, sports turf barrier, floating cover, e.g., over a leachate pond to reduce precipitation and leachate volume, pond liners, e.g., stormwater or leachate, and gas collection systems because of the large reduction in field seams and installation time. In addition, the use of prefabricated panels and fewer field seams results in the liners being completed with fewer destructive sample 
patches than if geomembrane rolls of 7 m width are used.
