The Waterpan Necessity: Securing Surface Water
In Kenya, especially in regions facing unpredictable or seasonal rainfall, relying solely on boreholes or rainwater tanks is often insufficient. Waterpan construction offers a vital solution for large-scale water harvesting and retention. Geo Blue designs and builds engineered reservoirs, dams, and ponds that capture vital surface runoff, guaranteeing a reserve supply for continuous operations even during extended dry seasons.
Geo Blue’s Advantage: Engineered Seepage Control
The biggest challenge in waterpan construction is seepage—the loss of water into the soil. Our expertise lies in utilizing advanced materials to eliminate this problem:
We specialize in lining reservoirs and dams with high-quality, durable geosynthetic plastic liners . This is the modern, proven method to ensure zero water loss through seepage.
- Material Science: We use industrial-grade, UV-resistant HDPE or LDPE liners selected for their longevity and resilience against environmental factors.
- Precision Welding: Our technicians employ specialized welding techniques to ensure every seam is perfectly sealed, creating a completely watertight basin.
- Maximizing Volume: By preventing loss into the ground, we ensure the entire volume harvested is available for your use.
Our service is end-to-end, covering all aspects of the civil works project:
- Optimal Siting: Conducting topographical assessments to determine the best location for catchment and stability.
- Structural Integrity: Precision excavation, soil compaction, and shaping of the embankments to ensure structural safety and prevent collapse.
- Water Management Systems: Installation of necessary inlet and outlet works, including silt traps and controlled spillways, to manage water quality and prevent overflow damage.
