Bioretention basins, also known as rain gardens or stormwater planters, are innovative green infrastructure systems that help manage stormwater runoff and filter pollutants.
Australian Fire Tanks can help you create a bioretention basin that is both beautiful and functional, with our durable and impenetrable liners. Our liners are designed to withstand the elements and protect the environment, so you can be confident that your bioretention basin will thrive for years to come.
Bioretention basin liners are essential for protecting the environment and ensuring the proper functioning of bioretention basins. They prevent stormwater runoff from contaminating groundwater and surrounding ecosystems, while also allowing for effective filtration and infiltration.
Common types of liners used in bioretention basins include:
Geomembranes are a type of bioretention basin liner that is made from synthetic materials such as HDPE, PVC, or EPDM. They are very effective at preventing water from infiltrating into the surrounding soil and groundwater. Geomembranes are also resistant to chemicals, making them a good choice for containing stormwater runoff that may contain pollutants.
Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are made up of a layer of bentonite clay sandwiched between two layers of geotextile fabric. Bentonite clay swells when it comes into contact with water, creating a watertight barrier. The geotextile fabric helps to keep the bentonite clay in place and prevents it from clogging.
Bioretention systems are a type of green infrastructure that uses plants and soil to filter stormwater runoff. They are becoming increasingly popular as a way to improve water quality and reduce runoff. Pond liners are a critical component of bioretention systems, as they prevent water from leaking out and contaminating the surrounding environment.
Australian Fire Tanks offers a versatile range of dam and pond liner fabrics that are all made from high-quality and puncture-resistant materials. This makes them ideal for use in bioretention systems, where it is important to block off any entry or exit points for contaminants.
Australian Fire Tanks’ pond liners are also impermeable, durable, and resistant to the effects of water, sunlight, and soil chemicals. This makes them a long-lasting solution for bioretention systems.
