Fujian Longyan HDPE Geomembrane for Impermeable Applications Wastewater Pond Construction Method

1. Fujian Longyan HDPE Geomembrane for Impermeable Applications The laying of

Laying out Fujian Longyan HDPE Geomembrane for Impermeable Applications It is a relatively critical process within the entire seepage control system.

Before laying the film Fujian Longyan HDPE Geomembrane for Impermeable Applications Perform an unpacking inspection of the appearance quality, documenting and repairing any identified mechanical damage, production defects, holes, cracks, or other imperfections.

Fujian Longyan HDPE Geomembrane for Impermeable Applications Before cutting, measure the relevant dimensions accurately, then proceed with the actual cut. During membrane installation, ensure that the overlap width between adjacent membranes is at least 100 mm, and arrange the seams parallel to the main slope line—specifically, align them along the direction of the slope.

Laying out Fujian Longyan HDPE Geomembrane for Impermeable Applications Efforts should be made to minimize the number of welds, and while ensuring quality, prioritize the efficient use of raw materials. This approach also makes it easier to maintain high-quality standards.

Typically, at corners and irregular sections, seam lengths should be minimized as much as possible. Unless otherwise specified, welds should be avoided within 1.5 meters of the top slope or stress concentration areas on slopes steeper than 1:6.

Fujian Longyan HDPE Geomembrane for Impermeable Applications During installation, avoid creating artificial wrinkles; when temperatures are low, make sure to stretch and smooth the material as tightly as possible.

Fujian Longyan HDPE Geomembrane for Impermeable Applications After installation is complete, minimize walking on the membrane surface or moving tools across it. Any objects that could potentially damage the Fujian Longyan HDPE geomembrane should never be placed directly on the membrane—or carried while walking on it—to avoid accidental harm to the material.

2. Fujian Longyan HDPE Geomembrane for Impermeable Applications Welding of

In Fujian Longyan, HDPE geomembranes for impermeable applications are welded using wedge welders with a dual-track hot-melt welding process. For areas where the wedge welder cannot be used, an extrusion-type hot-melt welder should be employed, paired with welding rods made from material identical to the original membrane, to create a single, buildup-style weld seam.

1. The hot wedge welding process consists of the following steps: adjusting pressure, setting temperature, configuring speed, inspecting weld overlap, loading the film into the machine, and starting the motor.

2. There should be no oil stains or dust at the seams, Fujian Longyan HDPE Geomembrane for Impermeable Applications The overlapping surface must be free of debris such as sediment, condensation, or moisture. If any contaminants are present, they must be thoroughly cleaned before welding.

3. Each day at the start of welding, it is standard practice to first conduct a trial weld on-site using a 0.9mm × 0.3mm sample with an overlap width of at least 10 cm. After performing peel and shear tests directly on the site, proceed with the actual welding operation only if the trial sample passes inspection. At that point, you can resume welding at the speed, pressure, and temperature settings that were just adjusted. During the hot wedge welding process, always monitor the machine’s performance closely and make minor adjustments to speed and temperature as needed, based on the specific conditions encountered on-site.

4. Welds must be neat and aesthetically pleasing, with no instances of undercutting or wandering.

5. When encountering Fujian Longyan HDPE Geomembrane for Impermeable Applications When the length is insufficient, longitudinal splicing is required. First, weld the transverse seams completely, then proceed to weld the longitudinal seams. Transverse seams that are more than 50 cm apart should be arranged in a T-shape; crossing them in an X pattern is strictly prohibited.

6. Do not press out any permanent creases when welding the film; ensure proper laying. Fujian Longyan HDPE Geomembrane for Impermeable Applications At that time, based on the local temperature fluctuations and the performance requirements for HDPE geomembranes used in Longyan, Fujian, allow for expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes.

7. Welding should not be performed during rain or when joints are exposed to moisture, dew, or heavy sand—unless protective measures are in place.

8. When the temperature drops below 5°C, construction should not proceed according to code requirements. However, if work must continue, the welding machine should be preheated before welding begins.

9. When welding Fujian Longyan HDPE geomembranes for impermeable lining, a generator with stable voltage performance should be used. In special cases where local power supply is required, a voltage stabilizer must be employed.
