Hard Linings for Canals
Hard surface linings are robust, impermeable materials used in canal construction to ensure durability and minimize seepage. They manage high-velocity flows and prevent erosion, ensuring durable, efficient canal systems. These linings minimize structural damage and maintain steady flow, optimizing irrigation efficiency. They ensure reliability in varied water management conditions.
Cement Concrete Lining: Durable and impermeable, ideal for high-velocity flows and large channels. Methods include cast-in-situ, shotcrete, and precast blocks.
Brick and Boulder Lining: Economical and easy to construct; bricks offer moderate impermeability, while boulders provide additional strength and erosion resistance.
Plastic Lining: Lightweight and easy to install, often used with protective soil covers to enhance durability.
