SUPPLY, WELDING & INSTALLATION
HDPE Geomembrane Supply and Installation in the UAE Since 2013
Infinite Leisure supplies and installs HDPE lining systems from our base in Dubai. We stock geomembrane in 0.75mm through 3mm on 7-metre rolls, weld it with our own crew, and pressure-test every seam before handover. Most of our work is water containment — irrigation reservoirs, ornamental lakes, canal lining and effluent lagoons — alongside landfill and secondary containment for industrial clients.
HDPE handles the majority of containment work in the UAE because it resists UV, chemical attack and the temperature swings this climate puts a liner through. Where a liner has to conform to an uneven subgrade or absorb settlement, LLDPE is often the better choice, and PVC and EPDM still have their place in decorative and smaller pond applications. Tell us the application, the area and the subgrade conditions and we will tell you which material and thickness actually fits — including when a thinner liner is the right call.
What You Get With Every Order
Mill test certificates against the ASTM methods in our specification, thickness records per roll, and — on installed projects — a signed weld test log for your QA file.

Why Contractors in the UAE Buy Their Liner From Us
Twelve years of lining work in this climate has taught us what fails and why. Here’s what you get when you order from Infinite Leisure.

Honest specification advice
We’ll tell you when you’re over-specifying. A 1.5mm liner over a proper geotextile cushion usually outperforms 2mm laid straight onto a stony subgrade — and costs less. Send us drawings and site conditions, not just a thickness.
Stock held in Dubai
7-metre rolls in the common thicknesses are on the ground here, not on a boat. Stock items despatch same or next working day; non-stock and textured material runs 2–3 weeks.
Test certificates with every roll`
Mill certificates against the ASTM methods in our specification, plus thickness records per roll. If your consultant asks for documentation, you already have it.
Our own welding crew
Running seams are joined by hot-wedge welding, which produces a double track with a sealed air channel between the two welds.
Full material range
HDPE for most containment, LLDPE where the liner must conform to settlement or an uneven subgrade, PVC and EPDM for smaller decorative ponds. One supplier for the whole system, including geotextile.
Transparent pricing
Material rate per m², delivery and installation quoted as separate lines, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for and take material-only if you have your own crew.

What HDPE Geomembrane Is and Where It's Used
The material is only half the job. Most liner failures we’re called out to repair aren’t material defects — they’re bad subgrade preparation, seams welded into wrinkles, or panels laid without allowing for how far HDPE moves between a 48°C afternoon and a cool night.
Subgrade preparation
The base must be graded, compacted and cleared of stones, roots, glass, debris and anything with a sharp edge. If the subgrade can’t be cleared to that standard, a non-woven geotextile cushion goes down first. This is where most projects are won or lost, and it happens before a single roll is unwrapped.
Deployment timing
HDPE expands and contracts significantly with temperature, and in the UAE that swing is severe — sheet surface temperature can exceed the air temperature by 20°C or more in direct sun. We deploy and weld in the cooler part of the day and leave the sheet with controlled slack so it can contract overnight without pulling on the seams. Panels pulled tight at midday are the ones that tear at the anchor trench three months later.
Panel layout and welding
Panels run down the slope, parallel to the line of maximum gradient, never across it. Running seams are joined by hot-wedge welding, which produces a double track with a sealed air channel between the two welds. Details, patches, tie-ins and repairs are extrusion welded.
Trial welds and seam testing
A trial weld is run at the start of each shift and at intervals through the day, then peel- and shear-tested before production welding continues. Finished double-track seams are air-pressure tested through the channel; extrusion welds are checked by vacuum box or spark test.
Anchor trench and handover
Our full method statement for HDPE liner installation sets out the sequence, test frequencies and acceptance criteria in detail.
What HDPE Geomembrane Is and Where It's Used
HDPE geomembrane is a low-permeability synthetic barrier used to control the movement of liquid or gas through a structure. It’s manufactured from virgin high-density polyethylene resin compounded with carbon black, antioxidants and UV stabilisers — the carbon black is what gives it both its colour and its resistance to sunlight. That combination is why HDPE is the default choice for exposed containment in this region.
We supply it in 0.75mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm on 7-metre rolls, smooth as standard and textured to order, tested against the ASTM methods listed in our specification. Alongside it we stock LLDPE, which is more flexible and better suited to subgrades that will settle or move, and PVC and EPDM for smaller decorative water features.
Common applications in the UAE
Irrigation reservoirs and farm ponds · ornamental lakes and water features · canal and channel lining · aquaculture and fish farming · sewage and effluent lagoons · evaporation ponds · landfill basal liners and capping · secondary containment bunds for fuel and chemical storage · tank and pit lining · floating covers
Exposed or covered?
Covered liner — under sand, soil or water — lasts longest, because the cover removes UV and thermal cycling almost entirely. Exposed liner is entirely workable here and we install it regularly, but specify it knowing UV performance matters: our material retains 50% of its high-pressure OIT after 1,500 hours of GRI GM 11 testing. If your design allows a cover layer, use one.
Delivering Across the UAE
We despatch from our Dubai base to Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah. Stock thicknesses leave same or next working day; non-stock and textured material typically runs two to three weeks.
We also quote export enquiries for Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.

Frequently Asked Questions
For most ornamental and irrigation ponds, 1mm to 1.5mm is right. Choose 1.5mm if the pond holds water year-round, sees maintenance foot traffic, or sits on a subgrade you can’t fully clear of stones. Below 1mm we’d normally only recommend for temporary or lightly loaded applications. Send us the area and site conditions and we’ll confirm.
Send us the area and site conditions and we’ll confirm — or use our pond liner calculator to work out how many rolls you’ll need.
The full sequence is set out in our method statement.
Price depends on thickness, total area, and whether you need installation as well as material. The rate per square metre drops with volume, and a full-roll order is always cheaper per m² than a part roll. Send us your area and thickness and we’ll quote the same day.
Buried or covered HDPE liner has a design life measured in decades. Exposed liner in UAE conditions depends on UV stabiliser performance — our material retains 50% of its high-pressure OIT after 1,500 hours of GRI GM 11 testing. Covering the liner with soil, sand or water extends its life considerably.
If your subgrade is clean, graded sand, usually no. If it contains stones, gravel or construction debris, or if the liner will carry point loads, then yes — a non-woven geotextile cushion costs far less than repairing a puncture after the pond is filled.
Running seams are joined with a hot-wedge welder, which produces a double track with a sealed air channel between the two welds. Details, patches and repairs use extrusion welding. Double-track seams are then air-pressure tested through the channel; extrusion welds are checked by vacuum box or spark test.
Both. Many customers with their own crews buy material only. Others take the full package — supply, deployment, welding, testing and handover documentation.
All rolls are 7 metres wide. Length varies with thickness, from 280m on 0.75mm down to 70m on 3mm. Part rolls are available, though the rate per m² is higher.
HDPE is stiffer, with higher tensile strength and better chemical and UV resistance — it suits most containment work. LLDPE is more flexible and elongates further before failing, which makes it the better choice where the liner must conform to an irregular subgrade or absorb ground settlement.
Yes, throughout the UAE, and we quote export enquiries across the GCC.
Mill test certificates against the ASTM methods listed in our specification, issued per roll batch, plus thickness records. On installed projects you also receive a signed weld test log.
