The most common challenges during canal liner installation include proper surface preparation, managing environmental conditions, and handling the liner material. Uneven or unstable surfaces can lead to improper placement and reduce the liner's effectiveness, requiring thorough grading and compaction.
Weather conditions, such as high winds or extreme temperatures, can make handling and installing liners difficult, potentially causing delays or material damage. For flexible liners, achieving a secure fit and sealing seams properly are critical to prevent leaks. In the case of concrete liners, achieving uniform thickness and proper curing can be challenging, particularly in adverse weather or on steep slopes.
