When looking for a life expectancy for your liner, these factors are what determines a long and healthy containment system:
- Material Type – Material type is also a key factor in a successful liner. HDPE, LDPE, RPE, RPP, PVC, EPDM and XR-5 are some of our more commonly used materials. Each material has it’s own strengths and weaknesses.
- Material Thickness – The material’s thickness does play a large role in the life of the liner. However, there are new material formulations that don’t require manufacturers to make thick mil/gauge liners.
- Project Location – A projects location can sometimes play a role in the ability for installation crews and also dirt movers to properly grade the project.
- Contents to be Contained – This goes back to both the type and thickness of a material that is best suited for the projects needs. There is almost, always a liner that works perfectly for our clients requirements.
- General Maintenance – With liners, it is always best to catch a damaged area early on. If the repair is put off, it can create washout, undermining, bubbling or even a cause the entire liner system to float. FLSI offers a service contract for annual or bi-annual site visits to review your liners overall health.
