Fire Training Pits & Deicing Impoundments
XR® Geomembrane Applications

Airports utilize geomembranes to protect groundwater supplies from pollution generated in fire training exercises and in de-icing operations. XR-5® is widely used in these applications because of its resistance to jet fuel, glycols and acetate de-icers. Because the XR-5 has low thermal expansion-contraction properties, it does not require soil cover and can be left UV exposed. Read about actual examples of this application below.

Examples of Actual Geomembrane Usage for Fire Training Pits & Deicing Impoundments

• XR-5 Geomembrane Liner Used in De-Icing Runoff Pond at Airport
• Seaman Geomembranes Used in Floating Covers for Holding Cells to Contain Deicing Fluid at Airports
