Lining Ponds with efficiently and economically has become increasingly challenging, especially for smaller ponds and in regional areas with very high set up costs and the limited availability of specialist welding contractors.
The Challenge
The Snowy Hydro 2.0 project, situated within the environmentally significant Mt Kosciuszko National Park, faced a unique set of challenges. This remote project required the lining of multiple ponds adhering to stringent environmental deadlines.
The lack of available specialist contractors for the welding of HDPE linings further complicated the task. The project demanded a solution that was both efficient and cost-effective, without compromising environmental standards.
Our Solution
Polyfabrics’ Australian-made HDPE Bioliner was the perfect solution for the project. To meet the tight deadline, Polyfabrics expedited production by adding extra manufacturing shifts, including nights and weekends. This ensured that the HDPE Bioliner was delivered to the project site promptly, addressing the urgent needs of the Snowy Hydro 2.0 project.

Features and Benefits of HDPE Bioliner
Polyfabrics HDPE Bioliner offers several key benefits that make it an excellent choice for pond lining applications:
- Made in Australia: The HDPE Bioliner is manufactured locally to precise sizes, eliminating the need for onsite welding and significantly reducing installation time.
- Ease of Installation: The liner can be equipped with drag handles to facilitate easy handling and installation. It can be installed by hand in a single day, without the need for heavy machinery or specialised labour.
- Compatibility with Geotextiles: When used in conjunction with MastaTEX Separation Geotextile, the Bioliner minimizes the risk of punctures from sharp angular objects, enhancing its durability.
- Rapid Production: The HDPE Bioliner is produced quickly from readily available HDPE rolls, ensuring prompt delivery and installation.
- Proven Performance: The liner has a proven track record of success in various applications, ensuring reliability and performance
