Strengthening Public Works with Durable Geomembrane Solutions
India’s infrastructure development is expanding rapidly—demanding reliable, long-lasting, and sustainable materials. Geomembranes play a vital role in this transformation by ensuring secure water conveyance, soil stabilization, and containment across major civil engineering projects. At AIGMA, we represent manufacturers and stakeholders committed to advancing geomembrane quality and adoption across India’s infrastructure sector.
Why Geomembranes Matter in Infrastructure
Canal Lining
Geomembranes prevent water seepage, reduce transmission losses, and improve irrigation delivery efficiency, ideal for large-scale canal modernization projects.
Roads & Highways
Used beneath roadbeds and embankments, geomembranes improve drainage, prevent subgrade erosion, and extend road life, especially in areas with weak or waterlogged soils.
Tunnels
In tunnel construction, geomembranes act as waterproof barriers, protecting concrete from seepage and reducing structural degradation over time.
Reservoirs & Dams
Geomembranes are used to line artificial reservoirs and dams, preventing seepage and conserving stored water for public, agricultural, and industrial use.
Benefits for Public Infrastructure Projects
Seepage Control
Prevents water loss in canals, reservoirs, and tunnels, ensuring long-term retention and structural safety.
Soil Stabilization
Improves subgrade strength under roads and embankments, reducing erosion and subsidence in weak soil zones.
Reduced Maintenance
Minimizes leakages and surface damage, lowering the need for frequent repairs and maintenance cycles.
Extended Service Life
UV-stabilized and chemically resistant liners withstand harsh conditions, enhancing durability over decades.
Faster Project Execution
Easy to transport and install, geomembranes speed up infrastructure deployment with less labor and downtime.
Eco-Friendly Development
Reduces water loss and environmental degradation, supporting sustainable public infrastructure growth.
AIGMA’s Role in Infrastructure Geomembrane Use
AIGMA plays an active role in promoting the adoption of geomembranes across India’s infrastructure sector. We work with government bodies, urban development authorities, and public project agencies to advocate the use of BIS-compliant geomembranes in critical applications such as canal lining, roadbeds, tunnels, and reservoirs, ensuring long-term durability, seepage control, and structural stability.
In parallel, we engage with contractors, engineers, and infrastructure consultants to share best practices in material selection, design, and on-site installation. AIGMA also represents geomembrane manufacturers in public tenders, specification frameworks, and compliance discussions, helping streamline procurement and uphold quality standards across infrastructure development projects.
