Experience in reviewing, designing, performing field inspections, and installing of geomembrane boots and connections to structures has revealed a widely diverse practice of standards and approaches. The execution of these details is very much an art in workmanship, and depends a great deal on the experience and understanding of the installer. There is very little guidance in the literature regarding the fine points of specifying and installing these critical details. The typical manufacturers’ details and guidelines are not much more than concepts that have been repeated for two decades. Thus, there is a big difference between what we assume and expect versus what is constructed in terms of leak resistance of geomembrane penetrations and attachments to structures. While much attention has been paid in the last 30 years to many other containment issues related to geomembranes (such as chemical compatibility, aging and durability, manufacturing, seaming, subgrade preparation, covering), there is surprisingly little technical discussion related to the design and construction of leak-resistant penetrations and attachments to structures. Many mechanical terminations might have strength as a key design consideration. Most leak-resistance connections should be designed to be as stress-free as possible. For those terminations that need to provide both functions, the design must include provisions for both stress and containment.
When specifying or designing leak-resistant boots or attachments, the lead author finds it more appropriate to think in terms of “leakage impedance” rather than “leak-proof”. The reason for this is clear: there is a significant probability that some amount of leakage may develop at these connections. The differences in materials, difficult-to-access geometries, the propensity for creating stress concentrations, the inability to non-destructively test, and the aging and cracking of sealants and gaskets all lead to a higher probability for leakage at these locations than there is in the free-field geomembrane. Thus, one key piece of advice for designers and owners is to be prepared to properly manage the consequences of potential leakage from these locations.

Backed by our hard-earned experience of this industry, we are engaged in offering an excellent quality HDPE Protection Films. In sync with the prevailing industry standards, offered films are manufactured using premium quality high-density polyethylene and sophisticated technologies. Applications: HDPE film grade is widely used in the production of T-shirt bags, shopping bags, food bags, garbage bags, packaging bags, industrial lining and multilayer film. In recent years, the resin has been increasingly used in beverage and medicine packaging, hot filling packaging and fresh produce packaging. The resin can also be used in the production of anti-seepage film used in hydraulic engineering.

D.P. WIRES PVT. LTD. Manufactures, Supplies and installs Geomembrane Membrane Liners used for Geotechnical Engineering solutions of fluid containment requirements.
The growing concern over contamination of valuable water resources and fluid migration to subsurface soils and ground water has results in the increasing awareness of, interest in, and demand for geomembranes made from polymeric material to replace more traditional porous liners such as concrete, clays and soils. The primary function of Geomembrane is to provide impermeable liquid or vapour barriers. They are usually made from continuous polymeric sheets that are very flexible.
Our Company’s (D.P. Wires Pvt. Ltd.) aim is to provide the best economical solution with unquestioned, unequaled quality Products and services to our clientele in the fluid containment and construction industries.
