Abstract
A membrane 10 is a geomembrane 10, which takes the form of a non-conductive sheet 11. A conductive layer 13 is printed on to the sheet 11, in this instance in a geometric pattern of a rectangular grid. The lines of the grid 13 are conductive and connected to each other, with non-conductive gaps 15 disposed between the grid lines. Accordingly, a conductive linear network is formed, which has the requisite conductivity for leak detection.
Claims23
A membrane comprising a non-conductive layer, and a first printed conductive layer formed on a first surface of the non-conductive layer.
A method of manufacturing a membrane comprising the steps of forming a non-conductive layer and printing a first conductive layer on a first surface of the non-conductive layer.
