    The document discusses three canal lining projects that used EPDM geomembranes. The first project was a 150 km long irrigation canal in Australia where the earth canal was reshaped and lined with EPDM to reduce water losses. The second was a hydroelectric canal in Serbia where the cracked concrete was renovated by mechanically fastening an EPDM liner due to high water speeds. The third was a river derivation in Serbia for a coal mine where the EPDM liner was covered with ground and rocks to recreate a natural river bed and protect the liner.

    Canal lining with EPDM geomembranes

    B. Amat, Firestone Building Products EMEA, Brussels, Belgium

    ABSTRACT
    EPDM geomembranes have been used for more than 30 years in canal applications. They present many interesting
    advantages like high installation speed, versatility and durability. This presentation introduces three references with
    different constraints and therefore alternative designs and installation processes. The first project is a 150 km long
    irrigation earth canal in Australia that has been reshaped and lined with an EPDM geomembrane to reduce the water
    losses. The second reference presents the renovation of a cracked concrete hydroelectrical canal in Serbia where the
    geomembrane has been mechanically fastened due to high water speed. The last project shows the building process of
    a river derivation in Serbia in which the EPDM geomembrane has been covered with ground and rocks to reproduce a
    natural river bed and protect the liner.
