POND LINING WORKS - LANJHA, RATNAGIRI

SEEPAGE PREVENTION / HYDRAULIC CONTROL

Product: Geomembrane—Macline SDH, Nonwoven Geotextile

Problem

Lanja is a Taluka located in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra where the

basic occupation of people is farming, which requires water. Majority of
the water losses from the pond due to seepage is a threat for the farmers.
Therefore the client needed a solution to avoid seepage, to store water
for an extended period of time.

Solution
Considering the above, an impermeable lining of the pond is the ideal
solution. The side slopes of the pond was dressed in a stable
inclination of 1V: 1H with a horizontal beam in between . The slope
as well as bed of the pond was lined with a geosynthetic solution.
1mm thick geomembrane Macline (SDH) will act as hard core Before Installation
impearmeable liner. This macline was lined on a protective layer of
non woven Geotextile.(Mactex) To ensure the stability of liners, safe
anchoring was done at the top by providing anchor trenches.
Advantages :
a. Easy handling and installation
b. b. Quality assurance and uniformity
c. c. Cost effective
