Geomembranes usually require attachments and other terminations that must be sealed properly. Also, there are areas that typically require special attention to ensure leakproof work. In these situations, there are accessories that help the installer complete the geomembrane barrier. In this blog, we will review the accessories that are offered with the XR-5^® Ethylene Copolymer Geomembrane. There are six principal items that are available to support the completion of the XR-5 Geomembrane installation.

[Wooster, Ohio] – [2/26/25] – XR^® Geomembranes is proud to announce the celebration of its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of providing innovative geomembrane solutions to industries worldwide. 

On the evening of February 3, 2023, a train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. The tanker cars, carrying several types of chemicals, ruptured, and caught fire.

The aftermath unfolded in the news for days, weeks, and months. The event impacted the population of the small community most directly, but also created an environmental investigation for Ohio and the surrounding states of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Our team was recently invited to speak with Shannon Oelkers from Integrity Environmental on their podcast Tank Talk regarding XR^® Geomembrane liners and how they perform in extreme environments.

Every year, more and more roads and highways are constructed to meet growing demands. However, this new construction or expansion of infrastructure may end up being built over loose or soft soil that does not have the ability to support the associated loads.

Geomembranes can fail for a variety of reasons. A failure in a geomembrane can result in serious damage to the surrounding environment and ecosystem. In order to help keep your geomembrane performing at its best, here are three common geomembrane failure mechanisms to keep in mind.

Reinforced geomembranes can be specified in a variety of scenarios, from floating covers to secondary containment liners. Highlighted below are three of the most common reinforced geomembrane applications.
