1. What is MegaBarrier® Gas Barrier Geomembrane, and how is it different from a standard geomembrane?

MegaBarrier® is an advanced 7-layer co-extruded gas barrier geomembrane manufactured by Megaplast India. It features a high-performance EVOH barrier core that blocks methane, radon, VOCs, and moisture vapor. Unlike a standard HDPE geomembrane, MegaBarrier® is specifically designed for projects that require both liquid containment and long-term gas protection.

MegaBarrier® is engineered to prevent the migration of methane gas, radon gas, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and moisture vapor. It is widely used for brownfield redevelopment, contaminated land remediation, landfill sites, and gas-affected construction projects where long-term gas containment is essential.

Choose MegaBarrier® when your project requires gas containment in addition to liquid containment. Its advanced 7-layer co-extruded construction with an EVOH barrier core helps prevent the migration of methane, radon, and VOCs, making it ideal for sites with gas-related environmental risks.

For applications focused only on liquid containment, such as water reservoirs, irrigation ponds, mining, aquaculture, wastewater treatment, or industrial lagoons, MegaLiners® HDPE and LLDPE geomembranes provide a durable and cost-effective solution.

 

If you’re unsure which geomembrane is right for your project, Megaplast’s technical team can recommend the most suitable solution based on your application, site conditions, and project requirements.

MegaBarrier® is available in thicknesses from 0.4 mm to 2.5 mm to suit different project requirements. The recommended thickness depends on site conditions, gas concentration, ground conditions, and applicable engineering standards. Contact Megaplast’s technical team for a project-specific recommendation.

Yes. Megaplast manufactures MegaBarrier® under an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system. The geomembrane is produced using advanced 7-layer co-extrusion technology, with compliance to GRI standards verified for the product’s base substrate.

MegaBarrier® is designed for a wide range of environmental and infrastructure applications, including:

  • Brownfield redevelopment
  • Landfill caps and landfill covers
  • Environmental containment liners
  • Biogas plants, digesters, and storage tanks
  • Odor control covers
  • Gas protection beneath buildings and infrastructure
  • Contaminated land remediation

MegaBarrier® is installed using industry-approved geomembrane welding and seaming techniques. Megaplast provides technical guidance, installation support, and leak testing recommendations to help ensure the integrity and long-term performance of the geomembrane system.
