GEOMEMBRANE FOR WATERPROOFING

Geomembrane for waterproofing

The most practical way to waterproof vinibiodigesters, manure pits, excavated tanks and ponds for aquaculture, irrigation lagoons, and cisterns is with Vinimanta. Waterproofing with Vinimanta means eliminating erosion, reducing impact on neighboring properties, and providing greater peace of mind for irrigating various crops.

Applications

Agribusiness

Sterilization of ponds

Vinimanta is crucial in the biodigestion process and for waterproofing slurry lagoons. It's installed in soil excavations and on the walls and bottoms of the biodigester. It lines the slurry lagoon that receives effluents, preventing soil contamination. A slurry lagoon with Sansuy's Vinimanta means eliminating erosion, less impact on neighboring properties, and greater peace of mind when irrigating various crops. 

Lagoons and irrigation canals

This material is recommended for waterproofing channels that are mechanically protected with concrete. Examples include channels like: Transposição do São Francisco, Cinturão das Águas, Canal do Salitre, Pontal Sul, Jaíba, Formoso A, and Formoso H. PVC is ideal for this application due to its perfect flatness. Another characteristic of this material is its excellent adherence to concrete, even allowing for work with a higher slump (softer concrete). For these applications, we can custom-manufacture the material, enabling user installation for smaller units. 

Aquaculture

With a strong focus on aquaculture, Sansuy presents an integrated system for raising aquatic organisms in tanks or excavated ponds, which are then covered and waterproofed with Vinimanta. This is a geomembrane, a PVC liner designed to prevent water loss due to infiltration in tanks, reservoirs, ponds, and intensive aquatic organism production units.

Features

Made from a compound of PVC, additives, plasticizers, and stabilizers, which gives it particular properties of flexibility and resistance, Vinimanta is suitable for waterproofing reservoirs and as a barrier against infiltration and loss of water or organic waste. For aquaculture, it's supplied with a specific formulation for the production of aquatic organisms. Vinimanta is fabricated in panels or modules, as detailed in the executive projects, developed for each application with the aim of reducing on-site welding operations, minimizing installation time and labor costs. Vinimanta can also be supplied with an attached non-woven geotextile, ensuring greater mechanical resistance to perforations and soil imperfections, and greater dimensional stability. 

Advantages

  • Coupled with geotextile on one side, it allows for greater resistance to functioning, tearing, or rupturing, and better adhesion when applying concrete.
  • Due to its flexibility, it adapts to any type of terrain and substrate, without breaking;
  • Vinimanta can be formulated according to its intended use.
  • Option of PVC geomembrane with an odorless and non-toxic formulation, ensuring water potability.
  • It exhibits less thermal deformation.
  • Low specific weight compared to traditional systems.
  • Easy to transport and handle, it can be supplied in large panels, folded and custom-packaged.
  • Quick, efficient, and low-cost installation, thanks to accessories for finishing without interference from columns, beams, drains, pipes, corners, and baseboards.
  • The welding is done by the manufacturer, using various applicable techniques, with a full guarantee of its effectiveness and durability.
  • It doesn't use flame during installation, which considerably reduces gas emissions.
  • Ease of repairs.
