Penteco - Textured HDPE Geomembranes
When it comes to the mechanical properties, the smooth sheet will always fare slightly better, however, most of these variations do not pose an impact on the quality or longevity of the liner system. Design engineers must consider going with a thicker liner if they are concerned with both the mechanical properties and the need for a textured surface.
Sloped soil-covered/multi-layered geosynthetic systems often need textured geomembranes to ensure adequate load transfer. Systems will and have failed when proper load transfers are not achieved. Additionally, the textured surface provides a safer walking surface during its installation and future use - this becomes a major deciding factor especially when installation occur during the winter season.
