Aqua Hub’s HDPE Dam Liners in Kenya come in 4 distinct types all suitable for different cases of water storage facilities. Our Dam Liner types are as per the diameter or gauge levels of the material liner.
In this blog, we are talking about the different range of dam liner types we normally supply for water-needing applications.
HDPE Dam Liner Specifications in Kenya
- We have gauges of 0.3mm, 0.5 mm, 0.75 mm and 1 mm which are all best for water collection in reservoirs and dams.
- High Density UV treated materials
- Black in color
- Shiny, smooth and hard as per the thickness level
- Tensile strength
- Available in length of 100 m
HDPE Dam Liners
This is a common dam liner type that is most preferable for long-term water storage applications. Our dam liners mainly consist of HDPE materials as most water pan reinforcements prefers them.
A Common characteristic of HDPE dam liners is the heavy nature and high tensile strength allowing them to be tear resistant.
Another reason to choose HDPE dam liners is the UV additive in the material that resists heavy sun radiation effect.
Low Density Polyethylene Liners
Types of dam liners which are manufactured from low-density Polyethylene plastic materials.
Low density polyethylene liners are more flexible and lighter compared to HDPE dam liners. For this reason, it is difficult to experience punctures that occur from abrasive forces.
Which HDPE Liner For Your Water Needs?
Identifying the suitable dam liner for your usage mainly relies on the soil structure of the area of intended use.
A lower density material is best for apparently smooth soil or excavation site with less rocky surface.
High density HDPE liners for instance 1 mm thickness size works best in areas with rough soil structure. For instance, this would work in an excavation that contains very coarse murram soils.
You can also base your consideration on the permeability or water retention rate of the soil. For instance, if your soil appears to lose water at a faster rate, a heavy and higher thickness material is the best.
How to Determine the Dam Liner that matches Your Water Pan
The worry of suitability of a dam liner once evaluated, focus shifts to the dimensions to consider. To get a dam liner that fits your dam or water pan, you should consider the size, shape and depth.
Different shapes of a water pan including circular, rectangular or irregular shapes have varying surface areas. Therefore, the size of the material to reinforce water will vary according to specific shape and dimensions.
The Depth of the reservoir is another important factor to decide on the length of the liner to use.
Dam Liner Calculator (How to Determine the Required Size)
We have devised a simple way to determine the size of a dam liner you need for your water pan or dam reinforcement.
The method has different approaches for various shapes of dams available; either rectangular, circular or rectangular with slant edges.
For Deep Rectangular Reservoirs
Add the length and two times the depth of the excavation. Include an extension of 1 M.
Find the sum of the width and two times the depth. Also include an extension of 1 M.
Length = Initial Length + 2 (depth) + 1 m extension
Width = Initial Width + 2(depth) + 1 m extension
Dam liner size required = New length + new width + Extension
For Circular Reservoirs
Add the diameter of the hole or excavation with twice the depth and consider an extension of 1 m on each side.
Dam Line size Required = Diameter + 2(depth) + extension
Dams with Slanting Heights
Length= Length of base area + 2(slanting height) + allowance on either side
Width = Width of the base + 2(slanting height) + allowance on either side
How long do Our Dam Liners Last
Since we deal in high resistance and tensile HDPE dam liners, you should expect long time of up to 20 years durability. For a guarantee of high durability, proper maintenance and care is ideal. For instance, restricting of your water pans to prevent entry of sharp objects that could cut the liner.
Durability varies with the thickness level of the material liner, with high thickness obviously lasting longer.
Maintenance Tips for Dam Liners
Upon completion of installation and commencement of water storage, you should plan a maintenance schedule. The ways to ensure proper condition and water retention of your liner includes;
- Frequent monitoring and removal of debris
- Removal of rocks and other materials that may fill the reservoir
- Construction of fences and attaching nets could also help restrict the area and prevent large material entry.
