In most cases, geomembranes can be repaired if they become damaged or develop leaks. The repair process typically involves cleaning the area around the damage, then applying a patch of the same geomembrane material over the affected area. This patch is usually welded onto the existing geomembrane using thermal welding or adhesive methods, depending on the material and site conditions.
For smaller punctures or tears, special tapes designed for geomembrane repair may also be used. It's crucial that repairs are carried out carefully and thoroughly to restore the integrity of the geomembrane, ensuring it continues to function effectively as a barrier.
