High-Density Polyethylene HDPE Geomembrane For Tunnel Anti-seepage Project

Product Specification

Product Overview
Our HDPE Tunnel Waterproofing Geomembrane is a cutting-edge solution engineered to provide superior waterproofing and structural protection for tunnels, underground passages, and subways. Designed to withstand high groundwater pressure, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress, this geomembrane acts as a critical barrier against water ingress, corrosion, and soil erosion, ensuring the long-term safety and durability of tunnel infrastructure.

Key Features

1. Waterproofing Excellence

   • Ultra-low permeability coefficient (<1×10⁻¹³ cm/s) blocks water infiltration, protecting tunnel linings from hydrostatic pressure and groundwater damage.

   • Seam integrity ensured by advanced thermal fusion welding, validated by non-destructive testing (NDT) methods.

2. High Mechanical Strength

   • Reinforced tensile strength (≥30 MPa) and puncture resistance (≥600 N) to endure rock abrasion, shotcrete application, and dynamic loads during tunnel boring.

   • Resists deformation under high-stress conditions, maintaining barrier integrity over decades.

3. Chemical & Environmental Resistance

   • Immune to corrosive agents, salts, and alkaline/acidic groundwater commonly encountered in tunneling projects.

   • UV-stabilized formulation for temporary above-ground exposure during installation.

4. Adaptability to Complex Structures

   • Flexible material conforms to curved surfaces, irregular geometries, and joint areas in tunnel arches and walls.

   • Compatible with geotextiles, drainage boards, and sprayed concrete (shotcrete) for integrated waterproofing systems.

5. Fire Retardant Options

   • Available with fire-resistant additives to meet safety standards in transportation and urban tunnel projects.

Installation Guidelines

1. Surface Preparation: Smooth and clean tunnel lining surfaces; repair sharp protrusions.

2. Welding Process: Use dual-track hot wedge or extrusion welding for permanent, watertight seams.

3. Anchoring: Secure geomembrane edges using mechanical fasteners or adhesive systems compatible with concrete.

4. Quality Assurance: Conduct spark testing, air pressure checks, and peel tests to validate seam integrity.
