Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of liners, linings, and liquid containment vessels including the same. Also disclosed are exemplary method of providing liners and linings for liquid containment vessels, such as process tanks, immersion tanks, containment pits, gravity feed conduits for transferring or conveying liquid, etc. In an exemplary embodiment, a liner or lining is anchored to at least one structural component by at least one extrusion weld and at least one mechanical fastener. The mechanical fastener is coupled to the structural component. The extrusion weld is coupled to the mechanical fastener. The liner or lining may be anchored to a wide range of structural components, such as a frame, a framework, a frame member, a tank, a wall, a support member, a reinforcing member, an outer shell, a substrate (e.g., concrete, etc.) or sidewalls defining a pit or a gravity feed conduit, combinations thereof, other structures or components, etc.
An apparatus for lining a liquid containment vessel, the apparatus comprising at least one sheet anchored to at least one structural component by an extrusion weld and at least one mechanical fastener that is coupled to the structural component, wherein the extrusion weld comprises thermoplastic material encapsulating at least a portion of the at least one mechanical fastener, wherein the mechanical fastener comprises a bent pin, a stud weld, and/or a hollow portion in which a portion of the thermoplastic material has infused, whereby the sheet is anchored to the structural component.
