Geomembranes are flexible polymeric sheets which are used as
relatively impermeable liners to contain liquid and vapour. With
uses ranging from canal liners to hazard waste landfills, they are
used extensively in a range of industries such as water
conservation, mining, construction and waste management. A Guide
to Polymeric Geomembranes: A Practical Approach offers an
informed overview of the developments in this field and includes:
* Detailed discussion of the major geomembrane types
* Manufacturing methods
* Key performance properties
* Industrial applications
* Testing and chemical resistance of geomembranes
* Failure analysis methodology
Written by a polymer research specialist with more than fifteen
years experience in industry, this practical handbook covers the
manufacture, use, installation, durability, lifespan and
performance of geomembranes. It covers all the information required
to enable the reader to select the most suitable geomembrane
material for the job.
This book is a useful reference for engineers and professionals
in industry, environmental consultants, polymer and materials
scientists, and government agencies and policy makers. It is of
particular interest to those designing, commissioning and operating
waste management sites, landfills, mine leachate ponds and water
containment facilities.
