Plastic geomembrane is a polymer material with waterproof, isolation and soil reinforcement functions. In highway construction, it is often used for anti-seepage, isolation, reinforcement and protection.
✦Description of HDPE geomembrane for highway engineering
The construction and development of expressways is an important part of the modern transportation system. In the process of expressway construction, the stability of the foundation is crucial, and soil seepage is a major factor affecting the stability of the foundation. In order to effectively solve the problem of soil seepage, anti-seepage geomembrane materials are often used in expressway construction.
✦Advantages and characteristics of HDPE geomembranes for highway engineering
1. Waterproof and water-proof
The primary function of geomembrane is waterproof and water-proof. In the construction of expressways, it is often necessary to cut slopes and build sand dikes, so a certain anti-seepage ability is required. Plastic geomembrane can effectively isolate moisture, thereby achieving the purpose of anti-seepage. At the same time, its anti-seepage performance is not affected by factors such as groundwater level and soil moisture content. It has a high puncture resistance, which can prevent groundwater from seeping out and high-content salt from infiltrating into the roadbed drainage layer, thereby playing a role in protecting the road base.
2. Anti-seepage and subsidence
During highway construction, if the elasticity of the land around the foundation pit is too small and there is a large amount of groundwater, the water pressure difference inside and outside the foundation pit will cause water to accumulate along the foundation pit gaps, pipelines and even the pit wall, forming low-glutinous mud, which not only brings great difficulties to construction, but also easily has an adverse effect on the safety of concrete or other structures. Using geomembranes to increase the water barrier capacity in the foundation pit can effectively solve these problems.
3. Dispersed load
Highway facilities often bear multiple loads from traffic, wind, heavy trucks, etc., and the transmission method is relatively complex. Plastic geomembranes have high tensile strength and anti-seepage ability, which can effectively prevent soil loss and landslides, making the soil’s bearing capacity higher.
4. Environmental protection and durability
Plastic geomembranes are environmentally friendly, harmless to the environment, and highly durable. They have strong anti-aging and corrosion resistance, so they have a long service life in highway construction.

This product flyer is intended for reference purposes. It should not be used in place of the advice from a licensed Professional Engineer. Nominal pressure (PN) is based on C = 1,25 and an operating temperature of 20°C. Weight is calculated using DN and Minimum wall plus 6% for use in estimating fluid flow. Actual ID will vary. When designing components to fit the pipe ID, refer to pipe dimensions and tolerances in the applicable pipe manufacturing specification. To obtain pressure in psi, multiply bar by 14.5 (1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi). Additional information is available at www.bingopipes.com.

✦Applications of HDPE Geomembranes in Highway Engineerings
1. The basic concept of anti-seepage geomembranes
Anti-seepage geomembranes are a waterproof material made of high-density polyethylene or polyethylene film, with excellent physical properties and chemical stability. It can effectively prevent moisture leakage in the soil and maintain the stability of the foundation.
2. Highway slope anti-seepage project
The highway slope is one of the common leakage risk areas in construction. During the slope excavation process, it is often necessary to lay an anti-seepage geomembrane on the soil surface. This engineering application example can effectively isolate moisture in the soil and prevent moisture from eroding and loosening the slope.
3. Roadbed anti-seepage treatment project
The roadbed is an important part of the highway. In order to ensure the stability and anti-seepage ability of the roadbed, it is often necessary to lay an anti-seepage geomembrane on the surface of the roadbed. This engineering example can effectively prevent moisture leakage in the soil and maintain the stability and strength of the roadbed.
4. Highway bridge pile foundation anti-seepage project
The highway bridge pile foundation is an important part that bears the weight of the bridge and transfers the load. In order to ensure the stability of the bridge pile foundation, it is often necessary to lay an anti-seepage geomembrane on the surface of the pile foundation. This engineering example can effectively isolate the erosion of water on the pile foundation and enhance the anti-seepage ability and bearing capacity of the pile foundation.
5. Highway leakage detection and maintenance
The application of highway anti-seepage geomembranes is not only reflected in the construction stage, but also includes leakage detection and maintenance. By regularly detecting the condition of the anti-seepage geomembrane and promptly dealing with damaged or aging parts, the service life of the anti-seepage geomembrane can be effectively extended and the stability and safety of the highway can be ensured.
The application of anti-seepage geomembranes in highway construction is an important measure to ensure project quality and traffic safety. By using anti-seepage geomembranes in slopes, roadbeds, bridge pile foundations and other parts, it can effectively prevent water leakage in the soil and enhance the stability and anti-seepage ability of the project. Regular inspection and maintenance work is also the key to ensuring the service life of anti-seepage geomembranes and project safety.
