Bituminous geomembrane is the specially designed geomembrane with composite layers that make it stronger, more watertight and more durable than resin based geomembrane liner. The bituminous geomembrane layers consists of an anti-root film with a glass mat providing high tensile strength, the non-woven geotextile that provides mechanical resistance to punctures and tears; and finally a specially designed elastomeric or blown bituminous binder provides waterproofing and chemical resistance. BPM geomembrane is the leading bituminous geomembrane manufacturer and supplier, we wholesale geomembrane with compelete size and specifications at competitive factory price.
What Is Bituminous geomembrane?
Bituminous geomembrane, also known as BGM liner, is a specialized type of geomembrane that offers superior strength, watertightness, and durability compared to resin-based geomembranes. BPM’s bituminous geomembrane is constructed with an elastomeric bitumen-based binder and an internal structure made from non-woven geotextile. This design ensures excellent long-term mechanical and chemical resistance.
BGM is characterized by its composition, consisting of a reinforcing geotextile layer for mechanical strength and elastomeric bitumen (often referred to as asphalt in the U.S.) for impermeability. Additional components like sand, a glass fleece, or a polyester film can be incorporated into the layers of a BGM. Notably, bituminous geomembranes stand out from bituminous waterproofing materials used in buildings due to their wider roll widths, which can surpass 5m, and their substantial thickness of up to 6.0mm.
As a type of geomembrane made from bitumen, a black, viscous substance derived from crude oil, bituminous geomembranes find extensive use in civil engineering and environmental applications that require impermeable sheets to control the flow of liquids or gases. In the construction industry, they are commonly employed for waterproofing purposes, such as lining reservoirs, ponds, and landfills. Additionally, they play a crucial role in environmental protection projects, preventing the migration of contaminants in soil or water.
Bituminous geomembranes offer several advantages, including flexibility, durability, and resistance to environmental conditions. It’s important to note that the specific properties and applications of bituminous geomembranes may vary depending on the formulation and composition of the bituminous material used in their production.
In summary, bituminous geomembrane is a highly versatile material widely utilized in civil infrastructure construction, hydraulic applications, and environmental protection projects. Its superior performance and unique composition make it a reliable choice for waterproofing and containment solutions.
Why Chose Bituminous Geomembrane Philippines for Landfill Project
When considering a landfill project in the Philippines, choosing bituminous geomembrane from BPM is a wise decision. BPM, based on previous export experience, recommended a 2mm bituminous geomembrane to our Philippine customer for their garbage filling site project.
The use of bituminous geomembrane in this application offers significant advantages. Its chemical stability ensures that the landfill leachate does not pose a threat. This geomembrane acts as a barrier, preventing groundwater and rainwater leachate from seeping through the liner, thus protecting the surrounding environment.
Another benefit is its stable UV resistance. The inclusion of carbon black in the geomembrane enhances its ability to withstand UV rays, addressing the issue of easy decomposition when exposed to sunlight. To provide assurance of its quality, we provide the customer with detailed indicators and test reports, which have been met with great satisfaction.
In addition to supplying high-quality geomembrane, BPM also offers professional advice and guidance to our customers. We pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive one-stop service and promoting a win-win concept. As a result, we have established long-term cooperative relationships with customers not only in the Philippines but also in Indonesia, Australia, and other countries.
By choosing bituminous geomembrane from BPM, our Philippine customer can have confidence in the success of their landfill project. The geomembrane’s chemical stability, resistance to UV radiation, and our commitment to excellent service ensure that the project will meet environmental standards and achieve long-term effectiveness.
Specifications of Bituminous Geomembrane for Landfill Project in Philippines
For the landfill project in the Philippines, the specifications of the bituminous geomembrane are as follows:
– Total quantity: 98,600 square meters
– Roll size: 7m*100m
– Geomembrane liner thickness: 2mm
These specifications ensure that an adequate amount of bituminous geomembrane is available for the landfill project. The rolls are sized at 7 meters wide and 100 meters long, providing sufficient coverage for the required area. The 2mm thickness of the geomembrane liner guarantees a durable and effective barrier against leachate seepage.
With these specifications, the project can proceed with confidence, knowing that the chosen bituminous geomembrane meets the necessary requirements for landfill applications.
