Pond Lining

Both natural and man-made ponds experience chronic water loss, which in turn diminishes the utility and value of the pond itself. A plastic pond liner would aid in the water retention of a pond.

Sean Carr Lining’s geomembrane liners are impermeable, and effectively eliminate water loss through ground absorption. There are various types of geosynthetic materials available, each with its own set of characteristics and properties. For plastic pond lining applications, Sean Carr Lining has found that High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) liners are most effective.

A reason for this is the polyethylene is flexible, and resistant to punctures. These attributes help as most ponds are built on uneven, rough terrain with rocks and debris underneath. The polyethylene is also ideal as it is easily contoured to the uneven surfaces without compromising its strength.

Plastic pond liners range in thickness from .75 mm to 2.5 mm. The thickness needed for any specific application is determined by the type of subsurface terrain that has to be covered and what type of soil will be placed on top of the liner. In general, terrain that is extremely rugged will require thicker pond lining than surfaces that are not.

The introduction of a plastic pond liner will enable effective water preservation measures. Geomembrane pond liners offer an affordable and readily available solution for the protection of aquatic resources.
