An RPE-lined pond offers several advantages over a concrete tank for long-term stormwater storage. RPE (Reinforced Polyethylene) liners are flexible, durable, and resistant to UV degradation, making them well-suited for outdoor use in stormwater harvesting systems. Unlike concrete tanks, RPE-lined ponds are typically easier and faster to install, especially in large areas, as the liners can be placed over existing ground with minimal excavation.
RPE liners also provide a lower-cost alternative to concrete tanks, as they require fewer materials and less labor to set up. Over time, the flexibility of RPE liners allows them to adapt to ground movement, preventing cracks or leaks that can occur in concrete tanks. Furthermore, RPE liners are resistant to many chemicals and are less prone to corrosion or scaling, which can affect concrete over the long term.
