with Factory Fabrication

 

Factory fabrication of panels reduces field seams by as much as 80%. This leads to more efficient installation, resulting in decreased field seaming, less testing, and ultimately a lower cost. PVC liners fabricated by EPI are single-ply construction manufactured from Polyvinyl Chloride. Only first-quality virgin PVC resins and high molecular weight plasticizers are used. Because of this, every material fabricated at EPI exceeds the ASTM D7176 Standard for Flexible Membrane Liners and ASTM D7408 Standard for Factory and Field Seams.

Many of our product applications can be seen in places such as the Columbus Upground Reservoir in Columbus, Ohio, the Antrim/Kalkaska County Landfill, also in northern Michigan, and the Coachella Canal in southern California. Daniel S. Rohe is President of Environmental Protection, Inc.
