Teranap Geomembrane

Reliability. Efficiency. Practicality. Three characteristics that are desirable in any construction product. But when you are talking about geomembrane applications, these three characteristics take on a whole new significance. The sheer scale of some geomembrane applications underscores this point. Lining canals, reservoirs, and ponds full of millions of gallons of water is serious business. And even on applications that are smaller in scale, the impact of a waterproofing problem can be enormous.
