Applications
Geomembranes are synthetic liners used as a barrier to prevent fluid and gas migration in any natural or man-made project. Because they can be made from many types of materials, geomembrane applications are plenty. Common geomembrane applications include agriculture applications, oilfields, and canals. EPI can make panels up to 40,000 square feet that we weld together and rigorously test to ensure top-quality liners for any geomembrane application.
Agricultural Applications
One particularly vital application is in the agriculture sector. Geomembranes are often used to line irrigation canals, ponds, and other water bodies used in farming. This ensures that precious water resources are not lost through seepage and helps in maintaining efficient water management strategies.
Oilfields
In oilfields, geomembranes serve as essential liners for containment systems. They help prevent the migration of hydrocarbons into the soil and groundwater, protecting these resources from contamination. This application is crucial for environmentally sensitive areas where any spillage could result in severe ecological damage.
Canal Linings
Geomembranes are also pivotal in lining canals used for water conveyance. By minimizing water loss, they ensure that more water reaches its intended destination, increasing the efficiency of water distribution systems. This is especially important in arid regions where water is a scarce resource.

Geomembranes can be made from a variety of materials to suit plenty of industrial liner applications. Some of our most common liners are:
Geomembrane liners are used whenever fluids or other materials cannot be lost or spread. This is common when clean water and wastewater cannot be mixed. Other geomembrane applications include wastewater storage, hazardous material liners, and waterproofing liners. Because the mixture of fluids can be detrimental to the environment, we thoroughly test our geomembrane liners for both their physical and mechanical properties to ensure they are reliable.
The benefits of our high-quality geomembrane liners versus other liners include:
- More Impermeable
- More Affordable
- Tested & Reliable

What Is a Geomembrane and How Are They Used?
A geomembrane may sound like a medical experiment gone wrong, but its uses and applications are both varied and fascinating. Geomembranes are synthetic membrane liners or barriers used to control fluid migration in a manmade project, structure, or system. They are made from relatively thin continuous polymeric sheets that are sometimes made from the infusion of geotextiles with asphalt, elastomer, or polymer sprays. This means that their applications to geotechnical engineering and other industrial clients are endless.
Geomembranes are being used in environmental, hydraulic, transportation, and oil and gas applications as well as the waste industry. The most common type are the continuous polymeric sheets. When larger geomembranes are needed, they are thermally or chemically melted together at the seams for strength and durability. The size of the geomembrane is completely customizable, so they can be as small as a backyard fish pond or as large as a football field if necessary.
To get a better idea of what you can use a geomembrane for, here are just some of the most common uses:
- As liners for potable or reserve water (e.g., safe shutdown of nuclear facilities)
- As fish pond liners
- As liners for waste liquids (e.g., sewage sludge), radioactive or hazardous waste liquid
- As liners for the agriculture industry
- As liners for various waste conveyance canals
- As liners for primary, secondary, and/or tertiary solid-waste landfills and waste piles
- As linings for emergency spillways
- As waterproofing liners within tunnels and pipelines
- To contain and transport liquids in trucks
- To contain and transport potable water and other liquids in the ocean
- Beneath highways to prevent pollution from deicing salts
- Beneath and adjacent to highways to capture hazardous liquid spills.
Basically, geomembranes are used wherever loss of material cannot be allowed, be that clean water, wastewater, vapor, soil, hazardous materials, or any other substance that doesn’t need to escape its designated space. Because flowing, pooling, frozen, and standing liquids (and even vapors) can be so devastating if not managed properly, these geomembranes have allowed industries to continue to develop and support many more projects than previously done before.
