Canal liners require regular maintenance to continue working effectively. Over time, wear and tear from water flow, environmental factors, and potential debris accumulation can damage the liner, leading to issues like punctures, cracks, or seepage. Routine inspections help identify any problems early, allowing for prompt repairs.
Cleaning the canal to remove debris, plant growth, or sediment buildup also prevents blockages and reduces the strain on the liner. In areas with fluctuating temperatures, monitoring for expansion or contraction of the liner material is essential. Regular maintenance ensures the liner’s longevity, improves water retention, and helps avoid costly repairs or replacements in the future.
