Considerations for selecting a dam liner
There are a number of factors to consider before making the decision to purchase a specific premium dam liner.
Firstly, you have to determine what the exact purpose of your dam liner is. Are you planning to go into fish farming and want to set up a fish pond? Is your main goal irrigation? Answering these questions first is important because they will determine the material and thickness of the premium dam liner you will purchase. For example, a fish farmer has to make sure that they material they use is non-toxic to their fish while someone looking for an irrigation dam should mainly consider the material’s durability.
Additionally, the exact size and shape of your dam should be determined. Considering the size of the dam ensures that you purchase enough material beforehand allowing the installation to go smoothly. Also, the shape of your dam will not only determine the material you will use (based on flexibility) but also helps the technicians know how much cutting and welding will be needed.
Next, take into account your soil’s type. Is your soil surface extremely rocky? Then you will need a material such as HDPE which is more resistant to punctures. If your soil surface is largely smooth, you can get thinner sizes.
Finally, consider your budget and the length of the project. Longer projects require more durable material which may be more expensive.

Premium Dam Liners Installation
Preparation and excavation
First, the dam is dug ensuring that the proper shape and size are obtained. The sides also have to have an appropriate slope to prevent the sides from caving-in. The base of the dam is then cleared of any sharp objects such as stones and debris that could pierce the liner thus damaging it. In case the surface is too rocky, the technicians must lay a piece of fabric or fine sand to act as a protective barrier. Next,we dig an anchor trench around the dam so as to secure the edges of the liner.
Positioning of the Liner
After the site is prepared and the dam has been excavated, our professional team of engineers at Aqua Hub carefuly unroll the dam liner material over the dam surface. We take care to not drag the premium dam liner which could ruin it. The liner is allowed to settle normally and we make sure that the materail properly settles into the trench.
In certain cases, the size of the dam may exceed the size of a single dam liner. Therefore, we can merge multiple liners together using a specialized welding machine. This machine uses heat to combine the two liners.

Testing
Next, the inlet and overflow pipes are set up to allow flow of water into and out of the liner. We can then test the installation by pumping water into it and ensuring that it has been installed properly. The dam liner is inspected for any movement or leaks. Any adjustments are then made before the dam can finally be used for its original purpose.
