The lake is designed to collect the run off from the vast Glasshouse roof
as well as to collect and store the under-liner drainage, thus providing
a supplementary irrigation supply for the gardens.
The integrity of the lake has been assured by the installation of Firestone PondGard
1.0mm EPDM geomembrane lake liner sheets, which being available in
a sheet size of 15m x 30.5m, assured maximum productivity on site.
Kingcombes installation staff have been trained and certified by Firestone
Building Products and have carried out successful installations in
the extreme conditions of an English winter and at the height of a Saudi
summer.
Kingcombe Aquacare recommend Firestone 1mm EPDM Geomembrane as “quite
simply the most cost effective quality waterproofing membrane on the market”.
