Case History of Six 25-Year-Old PVC Geomembrane-Lined Ponds
Six adjacent research ponds were constructed in 1990 using different formulations and thicknesses of PVC geomembranes liners. The ponds were 1.8 m deep with slopes of three horizontal to one vertical. The ponds were located in Mancelona, MI, USA, and fully exposed to the envionment. They contained water but were exposed above the waterline. The site is situated in northwest lower Michigan, approximately on the 45th parallel. Ambient temperatures range from +30 to -30°C. An assessment of the six different PVC geomembranes after 25 years of service is provided herein. Results are based on physical, mechanical and endurance test results.
