Mining projects have several critical and specific needs that have to be met when choosing a geomembrane. Geomembranes in mining projects must be chemically compatible with the materials they will be used to contain. Any environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and mechanical stresses, should be assessed.
Different kinds of geomembranes will have varying strengths in durability, flexiblity, and chemical resistance. Installation considerations may come into play, as different geomembranes will be easier or more difficult to handle, have their seams connected, as well as cost.
