Prefabricating geomembrane rolls provides a number of cost advantages for containment applications. Fabrication of panels prior to site delivery allows for the seaming work to be performed in the controlled environment of a facility rather than in the open, elements-exposed environment of a job site, where wind and dust challenge seaming integrity. Also, large panels can be deployed quickly for quicker installation (and normally with non-specialized labor). In-Line Plastics has 15 years of experience in custom fabrication and can assemble delivery-ready panels in excess of 200,000 SF. Fabricating 4,000 lb - 12,000 lb rolls is not an issue. If you have a flexible liner project, prefabrication may be the most economical, efficient solution. Learn more here.;
