LINER FOR DAM LINING
We take a pledge to save every drop of water.
Dams are artificial structures that are used to store water. However, while constructing dams it is important to install Liner for Dam Lining system as it helps in preventing seepage.
Apart from that, installing a geomembrane Liner for Dam Lining system on the upstream face of dams significantly reduces the pore pressure on the downstream face of the earthen dam. As the Membrane Liner is durable and cost-effective.
The dams mainly provides: protection from floods, energy production and storage of water or other resources, such as mine tailings. So it is important that one should guarantee their functionality. Such critical infrastructure must possess a certain level of water tightness, and geomembranes play an important role in that by providing Liner for Dam Lining.
As in concrete dams, the waterproofing is provided by the concrete itself. However, over time concrete loses its waterproofness due to the appearance of cracks, leaching and other deformations and hence it may require upstream facial treatment.
MACRO HDPE Geomembrane Liners for Dam Lining is a type of high-density polyethylene waterproof geomembrane that provides an excellent solution for leakage prevention and is the ideal geotechnical material used for Dam Linings applications.
MACRO HDPE Geomembrane with excellent mechanical properties and high durability provides a cost-effective solution to power generation stations reservoirs and Dam Lining for leakage control and leakage prevention.
HOW TO USE GEOMEMBRANE LINERS FOR DAM LINING
The exposed position to stop leaks from passing through the dam, or just in the regions where leaks, cracks, and failed joints occur most frequently.
Macro HDPE geomembrane is frequently used in the construction of new RCC and embankment dams, as well as in the reconstruction of dams and other hydraulic structures.
For water-retaining, water-releasing, and water-conveying structures of dams, MACRO HDPE Geomembrane can be utilized as a water-proofing membrane.

Dam Lining Material and Installation of Liner for Dam Lining
The Liner for Dam Lining and Liner for Canal Lining is engineered from a manufactured thick Dam Lining Material that is consistent over the complete flooring of the dam. It ensures that is no water loss or wastage through seepage. The thickness, size, and quantity of exposure to UV rays of the material change. The expected life of the Liner for Dam Lining depends on the planning and nature of the base of the dam.
The manufacturing step is as crucial as the installation, as it contains numerous key steps that should be followed. Beginning with the planning and discussion step with the team of Macro Sheet India Limited to site preparation to installation of the protective material layer of Geomembrane Liners for Dam Lining and ending with the finishing touches.

 Frequently Asked Questions  
Q 1. How long do dam liner last?
Ans. A dam liner typically lasts for around 20 to 30 years. This is like the lifespan of a good car – it can vary depending on factors like the quality of the liner material, how well it’s maintained, and the conditions it’s exposed to. So, just like you take care of your car with regular check-ups and maintenance, dams need similar attention to make sure their liners last as long as possible.
Q.2. How do you fix a dam liner?
Ans. Fixing a dam liner involves patching up any holes or tears that may have developed. This is usually done by cleaning the area around the damaged spot, applying a patch or sealant specifically designed for dam liners, and ensuring it’s securely attached. Think of it like fixing a puncture in a bicycle tire. You clean the area, apply a patch, and make sure it’s stuck on properly to keep the water from leaking out.
Q 3. How to install a dam liner?
Ans. Installing a dam liner involves laying down a large, durable sheet of material inside the dam structure to prevent water from seeping through. First, the area where the dam will be built is prepared, and then the liner is carefully placed and secured in place. It’s kind of like putting a giant waterproof mat at the bottom and sides of the dam to keep the water in place.
Q 4. What is a dam liner?
Ans. A dam liner is a waterproof barrier used in the construction of dams and reservoirs to prevent water from leaking out. It’s like a big, sturdy plastic sheet that’s placed inside the dam structure to make sure the water stays where it’s supposed to—inside the dam!
Q 5. What are the benefits of Dam liner?
Ans. The benefits of using a dam liner are numerous. Firstly, it helps to conserve water by reducing seepage and leakage, which means more water stays in the dam for use. Secondly, it helps to prevent soil erosion around the dam, maintaining its structural integrity. Additionally, dam liners can also help to control the quality of the water stored, by preventing contamination from outside sources. Overall, they play a crucial role in efficient water management and environmental protection.
