Manure Storage Lagoons Installation

Prefabricated EPDM liners for ”do-it-yourselve” Manure Storage Lagoons

Excavate to a depth of 2,0 m, plus 4 cm for
Elastoseal EPDM, thickness 1,00 / 1,20 / 1,50 mm, available in a range of prefabricated sizes for installation in 2,0 a sand layer. Note that the bottom and em-
meter deep, excavated pit with slopes of 2:1. bankment should be exactly horizontal and
that the bottom surface should have a posi-
tive slope of 2-3°.
Panels are supplied in any size, limits are set by handling on site, unrolling and unfolding, manpower and equipment available.
Panel sizes up to 2000 sqm have been used. Larger pits can easily be installed by help of our authorized geomembrane
installers.

SealEco or our local partner provide service in calculation of volumes and panel sizes. Remove debris and stones, the soil surface
shall be as smooth as possible. Spread sand
or lay out geotextile on the surface.

Focus on the environment

Environmental protection and care comes naturally to a supplier of
products that contribute to the conservation of water, as well as the
protection of goods and property from water leakage and moisture.
Our rubber membranes are chemically stable and contain no problem­

release any substances that cause allergies or hazards to the environ-
ment. Recycling options are available for membranes reclaimed from
old installations.
