Geomembrane Welding

Achieve Flawless Waterproofing With Geomembrane Welding

Geomembrane welding is a critical process that creates watertight seams to prevent leakage in lining applications. Proper welding ensures the geomembrane acts as an impermeable barrier for long term durability.

As a leading geomembrane installer in the UAE, we possess extensive expertise in thermal welding processes to create seamless geomembrane liners for water containment projects.

Importance of Geomembrane Welding

Welding is crucial because:

  • Creates continuous impermeable seams and joints
  • Provides superior seam strength compared to glues or tapes
  • Withstands fluctuations, settlements and movements
  • Prevents breakthrough or leakage of contained liquid
  • Allows testing along the seam length for any defects
  • Thermo-welding creates homogenous bond across the weld interface

Types of Geomembrane Welds

Our team undertakes following specialized processes:

Wedge Welding

Two geomembrane sheets are welded together by passing through heated wedge under pressure. Creates strong laps.

Extrusion Welding

Molten polymer from an extruder is applied along the seam and solidifies to bind sheets. Gives smooth seam.

Hot Air Welding

Heated air from a welder gun fuses the overlapping geomembrane edges together.

High Frequency Welding

RF energy heats geomembrane sheets pressed between copper bars to meld them together.

Our Welding Services

We possess advanced equipment and skilled manpower to provide:

  • Site fabrication table for seaming liners
  • Portable welding equipment for field seaming
  • Automated welding machines for factory-level seams
  • QA/QC testing for weld strength and continuity
  • Spark testing to identify flaws and holes in seams
  • Destructive testing on sample welds
  • Repair patches over defective seams
  • Documentation including weld maps and reports

Quality Assurance Protocols

We follow stringent protocols during welding:

  • Clean seam area properly before welding
  • Ensure correct temperature, speed and pressure settings
  • Prevent contamination from moisture, dirt and debris
  • Execute test welds first and check weld parameters
  • Carry out visual inspection along the entire weld length
  • Verify seam integrity through spark testing
  • Perform trial welds and pull tests for strength
  • Execute repairs immediately as per specifications
  • Handle liners carefully to prevent damage
  • Allow proper liner cooling time after welding

Trusted Geomembrane Installation Company
