START WITH THE MATERIAL.

When comparing GRI-GM13 and GRI-GM17, begin with the polymer: not a blanket assumption about performance.

• GRI-GM13 is a standard specification for HDPE smooth and textured geomembranes.
• GRI-GM17 is a standard specification for LLDPE smooth and textured geomembranes.

Both specifications establish test properties and testing frequencies for manufacturing quality control. They can help establish a material-quality baseline, but they are not laws, codes or universal certifications.

The right selection also depends on:
• Expected movement and deformation
• Chemical exposure
• Subgrade conditions
• Geomembrane thickness
• Surface texture
• Installation requirements

A specification helps frame the conversation. Project conditions help determine the right engineered solution.

WHY OPERATORS ARE RECONSIDERING THE DEFAULT PIPE MATERIAL

Produced water, salts, carbon dioxide and treatment chemicals attack steel from the inside. Soil and moisture attack it from the outside. The result is a maintenance cycle of inspection, repair and replacement that follows the line for its entire operating life.

Polyethylene pipe does not rust. In buried service the HDPE segment itself generally does not require cathodic protection, although steel risers, valves, flanges and transition pieces may still need coatings or cathodic protection.

The material conversation should start with the fluid chemistry, the operating conditions and the route rather than with what the last project used. HDPE is long established in natural gas distribution, and its growth across oil and gas sits in the services where pressure, temperature, fluid composition and regulations support it.

Viaflex manufactures HDPE pressure pipe in the United States using PE4710 resin.

Solar site ponds do more than store water. Retention, stormwater, process water and evaporation ponds all place different demands on a liner system.

Design review should cover subgrade preparation, slope stability and interface friction, smooth versus textured surfaces, UV exposure, wind uplift, anchoring, pe*******on details and welding. UV exposure depends on whether the liner remains exposed or receives a cover, and thermal cycling at the site should be evaluated.

Confirm whether the pond will receive clean stormwater or water that may require inspection, treatment or disposal. Clean stormwater infrastructure should be separated from BESS firewater and transformer containment unless an approved treatment and management plan is in place.

MINING ENVIRONMENTS DEMAND MORE THAN STANDARD LINERS.

Extreme UV exposure and high-stress mechanical loads can compromise ordinary containment systems. When failure is not an option, you need a solution engineered for the most rugged applications on earth.

Viaflex's Absolute Barrier geomembrane liners provide the ultimate defense against chemical seepage and structural degradation in heap leach pads, tailings management and process water containment.

- Superior puncture resistance for rocky subgrades
- Enhanced UV stability for long-term outdoor exposure
- Exceptional chemical resistance to aggressive mining fluids
- Made in the USA for maximum reliability

Viaflex combines decades of engineering expertise with advanced polymer technology to ensure your operation remains compliant and profitable. Partner with an expert who understands the stakes.

ENERGY OPERATIONS CANNOT AFFORD CONTAINMENT GAPS.

From above-ground tank liners to frac water reservoirs, reserve pit liners and secondary containment systems, Viaflex delivers engineered solutions for demanding energy applications.

Our team helps project owners, engineers and contractors address critical containment requirements with:

• High-quality geomembranes and custom-fabricated panels
• Durable barrier protection for demanding environments
• Reduced field seaming through expert fabrication
• Design-build expertise focused on project performance and long-term value

When the stakes are high, containment should be designed around the challenge. Send your project specifications to [email protected] or visit www.viaflex.com to talk with the Viaflex team.

A data center roof is more than a top layer. It is a critical part of the building envelope and should be evaluated for protection from rain, moisture intrusion, UV exposure, thermal cycling, wind uplift and rooftop service traffic.

DuraApex TPO is a heat-weldable membrane that can provide a continuous waterproofing layer when correctly specified and installed as part of a complete roofing assembly.

Choose the surface for the application:
• Smooth DuraApex TPO for standard roof field applications
• Textured DuraApex TPO for designated service paths or maintenance areas where additional traction is required

Protect the envelope. Plan for the roof conditions your data center will face.

WHEN A TANK LEAKS, THE DAMAGE EXTENDS BEYOND THE ASSET.

Above-ground tank liners provide an engineered containment barrier beneath and around storage tanks, helping energy operators manage leak risks before they threaten soil, groundwater or operational continuity.

Viaflex liners are designed for demanding oil and gas environments, with:

• Chemical resistance for challenging stored materials
• High puncture performance for added containment reliability
• Custom fabrication for project-specific tank configurations
• Engineered geomembranes that help prevent leaks from reaching the environment
• Solutions that support safer operations and help keep critical assets online

Manufactured in the USA using ISO 9001-certified processes, Viaflex brings over four decades of experience to engineered films, barriers and geomembrane containment solutions. Our team can help evaluate your tank application, liner requirements and installation considerations before field work begins.

Protect the asset. Protect the site. Protect operational continuity.

ORDINARY POLY SHEETING IS NOT BUILT FOR EVERY JOBSITE.

Commercial construction enclosures face tearing, punctures, wind and daily jobsite stress. Dura-Skrim® reinforced construction enclosure films provide a stronger choice through polyethylene layers supported by heavy-duty diamond or diagonal scrim reinforcement.

Dura-Skrim® R5CC is a clear, four-layer laminate designed for temporary enclosures and abatement applications where light transmission is important.

Dura-Skrim® R10CC is a heavier laminate for extended outdoor exposure and more demanding wind-load conditions. Product selection should always be based on project conditions and engineering requirements.

For architects, specifiers, engineers, safety personnel and construction professionals, the right enclosure film can support:

✓ Resistance to tearing and punctures
✓ Reliable performance through demanding installation conditions
✓ Improved visibility with clear film options
✓ Material selection aligned with project requirements

Read our blog to learn why engineered enclosure films are essential for commercial construction:
