Artificial Ponds and Decorative Ponds
Artificial and decorative ponds are water basins created for aesthetic and functional purposes in landscape designs. They enhance visual appeal and provide a natural atmosphere in parks, gardens, tourist facilities, and recreational areas. It is crucial to construct these ponds with the right geosynthetic materials to ensure durability, longevity, and impermeability.
Geosynthetic Products Used and Their Functions:
- Geomembrane: Provides liquid and gas impermeability, preventing waste from leaking into the environment.
- Geotextile: Ensures filtration and drainage, offers mechanical protection, and regulates ground movements.
- Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL): Reinforced with bentonite clay, this material provides additional sealing.
- Geocell: Increases load-bearing capacity and stabilizes the ground.
- Geogrid: Strengthens soil and fill materials.
- Geonet: Facilitates drainage and water discharge.
- Geocomposite: Combines different geosynthetics to integrate impermeability and drainage features.
- Gas Drainage Strip: Prevents gas accumulation and reduces potential pressure risks at the pond base.
The integrated use of these products ensures that artificial ponds are safe, environmentally friendly, and long-lasting. The selection of products and combinations depends on the project's technical requirements and site conditions.
