When it comes to containment, prevention, and protection, liners are the silent workhorses behind countless environmental and industrial successes. At EPI, we specialize in fabricating high-performance geomembrane liners that serve a wide range of industries. Whether it’s preventing hazardous leaks or preserving natural resources, liners play a critical role in infrastructure and sustainability. Here’s how liners are actively shaping operations across the field.
Waste Management: Keeping Contaminants in Check
One of the most common applications for liners is in landfills and waste containment sites. Geomembrane liners prevent leachate—a potentially toxic liquid formed from decomposing waste—from contaminating groundwater. EPI’s liners are engineered for durability, chemical resistance, and long-term performance, ensuring that facilities meet stringent environmental regulations.
Agriculture: Protecting Water, Soil, and Livestock
Farmers and agricultural engineers use liners in irrigation ponds, manure lagoons, and silage pits. By preventing seepage and runoff, liners help conserve water, protect soil health, and reduce the risk of nutrient pollution. EPI’s prefabricated panels allow for rapid installation, especially critical during peak planting or harvesting seasons.
Mining: Managing Byproducts and Enhancing Safety
In mining operations, liners are essential for tailings ponds, heap leach pads, and process water containment. These applications demand high chemical resistance and structural integrity. EPI’s liners are designed to handle extreme environments while helping mining companies meet safety and environmental standards.
Energy: Containment in Oil, Gas, and Renewables
From fracking pits to secondary containment for fuel storage, the energy sector relies on liners to prevent spills and leaks. Even in the renewable energy sector, liners are used in biogas facilities and solar panel farms for water retention and site protection. EPI’s custom fabrication capabilities ensure liners are tailored to meet project-specific challenges.
Water and Wastewater: Infrastructure that Lasts
Municipalities and utilities use liners in reservoirs, canals, and wastewater treatment facilities. These systems depend on liners to prevent water loss and protect nearby ecosystems from untreated discharges. With precise welding and quality testing, EPI ensures each liner performs as expected in long-term service.
Recreational and Decorative Uses: Aesthetic and Functional
Liners also enhance public and private spaces—think golf course ponds, backyard water features, or decorative fountains. These applications require a balance of function and visual appeal, and EPI’s liners are available in multiple colors and textures to meet design goals without compromising performance.
Built for Performance, Designed for Impact
No matter the application—whether it’s mining, agriculture, energy, or water treatment—EPI’s prefabricated liners are engineered to perform under pressure. Our Michigan-based facility fabricates panels up to 60,000 square feet, reducing field seams by up to 80% and significantly cutting down on installation time and labor costs. This streamlined process means faster deployment, fewer on-site variables, and greater quality control—benefits that translate directly to operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
From protecting natural resources to supporting critical infrastructure, liners are the unseen foundation of many essential systems. EPI is proud to provide high-quality, American-made geomembrane liners that meet the demands of today’s industries while safeguarding the environment for tomorrow.
