Enduraseal® Green is a geocomposite liner designed for use in artificial turf sports fields to protect synthetic grass from subgrade moisture variations which can lead to differential settlement.
Made in Australia, it consists of a polyethylene PE geomembrane liner between two layers of Bidim® Green non-woven geotextile. The Bidim Green geosynthetic layer prevents damage of the liner by limiting deformation and puncturing potential from subgrade materials and aggregates such as granular stones, gravel and sand.

WHY CHOOSE ENDURASEAL GREEN?
- Allows water to flow within the plane of the geocomposite, allowing the dissipation of pore water pressure
- Provides separation between the subgrade and the drainage aggregate layer, preventing the migration of subgrade materials into the layer above
- Acts as a barrier to prevent water from entering the synthetic grass from the subgrade, limiting moisture variations which can lead to differential settlement
- Limits damage to the waterproof membrane with Bidim Green non-woven geotextile which also acts as a cushioning layer
- Easy to install using a glue laminating system which is available from Geofabrics that does not require site specialist skills or expertise
Installation
Placement procedures for Enduraseal Green should be in accordance with the project specifications. This will include compliance with stripping, grubbing and final trim, grading requirements, cover material specifications, lift thicknesses and equipment requirements. Other considerations such as placement in wind should be addressed in construction or site specific specifications.
Performance considerations such as removal of wrinkles and folds or pre-tensioning the geocomposite should also be addressed as specified. Overlaps should be joined using the glue laminating system supplied by Geofabrics, with the glue provided.

FUNCTION
Barrier
Prevents or reduces the movement of any fluid through the use of a geosynthetic barrier. Used to isolate one material from another. Common applications are landfills or ponds to prevent contamination of surrounding areas.
Containment
Geosynthetics acts as a relatively impermeable barrier to liquid or gases. Geotextile composites and geosynthetic clay liner (GCL’s) can be used as barriers to impede flow of liquid or gases. Also used in asphalt pavement overlays and waste containment.
Drainage
Geosynthetics can act as a drain to carry fluid through less permeable soils. Ideal for use in subsoil drainage systems, can be used to dissipate pore water pressures at the base of road and railway embankments, sports fields and behind retaining walls. Facilitates surface water runoff.
Protection
Geosynthetics can prevent acute damage caused by adjacent materials. Often used together with a barrier to ensure that surrounding areas will not be contaminated. Widely used on landfills, tunnel construction and dams.
Separation
Geosynthetics can be used to prevent the intermixing of soil types of different sizes in the construction of roads, railways, and embankments where the ground is soft and unstable to maintain the integrity of each material while allowing free passage of liquids or gases. Using a layer of geotextile to separate the soft ground from the fill material reduces the amount of fill required, increases the lifespan of the road or rail structure and cuts long-term maintenance costs.
