Dam liners and dam construction

Affordable and Long-Lasting Dam Liners in Kenya

Irrihydrosol Ltd is a leading company in designing, supplying, and installing dam liners (geo-membranes) for water storage systems in Kenya and neighboring countries. Our UV-treated and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) dam liners are designed to prevent water seepage, ensuring that water is conserved and available when needed. We also specialize in constructing water harvesting systems such as water pans and lining them with geo-membranes and covering them with shade nets, among other materials.

A lined water pan helps to control water seepage and maintain the aesthetic value of the harvested water, which can be contaminated by intruding water such as groundwater. We use PVC and HDPE dam liners with thicknesses of 300, 500, and 1000 microns, depending on the size of the water pan. We also recommend fencing the lined water pans to control direct access by animals and reduce the risk of damaging the liner material or accidental drowning.

Dam liner design and installation procedure

At Irrihydrosol Ltd, our dam liner design and installation process involves the following steps:

  1. We begin with a site visit to assess the location of the reservoir and determine the source of water, whether it is roof water or run-off. We also consider where the water will be used for irrigation purposes.
  2. Based on the size of the reservoir, we determine the necessary excavation and select the appropriate type and size of liner required.
  3. We then excavate the reservoir to prepare the site for the liner installation.
  4. Next, we fabricate the liner to the exact dimensions of the reservoir using a hot welder or a hot blower. This ensures a precise and snug fit for maximum effectiveness.
  5. Finally, we install the custom liner in the reservoir, ensuring a perfect seal to prevent any water leakage or seepage.

With our meticulous design and installation process, you can be sure that your dam liner will provide reliable and long-lasting protection for your water storage system.

What are the main applications of dam liners?

  1. Dam Lining: One of the primary applications of dam liners is lining reservoirs and dams.  We lay PVC and HDPE dam liners with thicknesses of 300, 500, and 1000 microns. The thickness is guided by the size of the water pan. Our high-density polyethylene (HDPE) dam liners are designed to be durable and reliable, providing a cost-effective solution for water storage systems.
  2. Lining Fish Ponds: We specialize in designing and constructing lined fish ponds that incorporate protective netting to keep scavengers away. Our high-quality UV-treated dam liners are the perfect solution for lining fish ponds, preventing water loss through seepage and contamination by groundwater.
  3. Lining Tanks: We rehabilitate old or cracked tanks using liners in order to give them extra service life. The liner is customized to fit the size and shape of the tank, ensuring a perfect fit and preventing leaks or seepage. Our HDPE dam liners are also resistant to chemicals and UV rays, making them an ideal choice for lining various types of tanks, including concrete, steel, and plastic tanks.
