Fluid liner fabrication and installation

摘要

The present application relates to fluid liners. One example includes first and second recycled geosynthetic sheets having overlapping portions. A heat welded splice is formed along the overlapping portions creates a fluid seal between the first and second recycled geosynthetic sheets so that the first and second geosynthetic sheets collectively function as a fluid liner.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a first recycled geosynthetic sheet arranged in an irrigation canal, the first recycled geosynthetic sheet having an upward facing side and a downward facing side; a second recycled geosynthetic sheet arranged upstream of the first recycled geosynthetic sheet in the irrigation canal, the apparatus including a first overlapping portion with a heat welded splice between the upward facing side of the first recycled geosynthetic sheet and a downward facing side of the second recycled geosynthetic sheet; and, a third recycled geosynthetic sheet arranged downstream of the first recycled geosynthetic sheet in the irrigation canal, the apparatus including a second overlapping portion with another heat welded splice between the downward facing side of the first recycled geosynthetic sheet and an upward facing side of the third recycled geosynthetic sheet, wherein the heat welded splice and the another heat welded splice function as fluid seals.
