NPI - Basin Films for Water Storage
NPI is a long-established specialist in the production and supply of various basin films designed for excavated water basins. These films find applications in agriculture, horticulture, civil engineering projects, environmental initiatives, and leisure projects, each benefiting from the capacity to store large volumes of water. The choice of basin film is influenced by the subsurface type, the nature of the water to be stored, and the specific requirements of the end user. NPI can produce bespoke LDPE, PVC, and polypropylene films up to 5,000 m² in their production hall, with on-site welding services available if necessary. Their specialist teams can handle site surveys, film deployment, welding, and the installation of bespoke outlets and embankment protection. For the horticulture sector, embankment protection against UV light, wind, weeds, and vermin is advised. NPI also offers several options for covering water basins to prevent algae growth, evaporation, and contamination, ensuring optimal water quality and extending the lifespan of the storage system.
There are many applications for excavated water basins, from agriculture and horticulture to civil engineering projects, environmental and leisure projects. However, the same benefit applies to all excavated basin applications: the capacity to store large volumes of water. A summary of the benefits:
- Easy to install in practically any location
- High degree of flexibility in shape and size
- Low investment cost per square metre
Film specialist
As one of the longest-established film processors, NPI specialises in the supply of basin films. The basin film type is determined by the subsurface, the type of water to be stored and the wishes of the end user.
Working method
We can produce bespoke LDPE, PVC and polypropylene films of up to around 5,000 m² in our production hall. These can be welded on location if required. If desired, our specialist assembly teams can survey the site, supervise the rolling out of the film, handle the welding on location, installing the bespoke outlets and installing embankment protection.
Embankment protection
For excavated basins in the horticulture sector, we advise protecting the side of the basin embankment with embankment protection. This protects the film on the embankment against UV light, wind, weeds and vermin. We also offer several options for covering the water basin. With a cover in place, algae cannot form, evaporation is prevented and leaves etc. cannot contaminate the basin. This ensures optimal water quality and prolongs the lifespan of the storage system!
