Pond failures rarely start with the water, they start with what’s underneath.
At Stratec, we see it time and time again: soft ground, sharp subgrades, and poor detailing are the real causes of punctured liners, leakage, and costly remediation.
A pond liner isn’t just a membrane, it’s a containment system, and its performance depends entirely on the groundworks and protection layers supporting it.
On most pond projects, we focus on three key areas:
• Protection – non-woven geotextiles above and below the liner to prevent puncture during installation and backfilling
• Ground preparation – ensuring a smooth, stable formation to remove risk before installation begins
• Material selection – specifying the right solution (HDPE, LLDPE, or bentonite) based on application, not cost
Get these right, and the system performs for decades.
Get them wrong, and issues start on day one.
If you’re working on a pond, attenuation basin, or containment project, Stratec is here to support with the right geosynthetic solutions from the ground up.
