　　Geomembranes are susceptible to physical damage from a variety of sources, including construction activities, wildlife, and weather events. Taking steps to protect the geomembrane from physical damage is essential for its long - term integrity.

　　During Construction

　　During the construction phase, it is important to take precautions to prevent damage to the geomembrane. This includes ensuring that the underlying surface is smooth and free of sharp objects before installation. Construction equipment should be carefully operated to avoid running over or puncturing the geomembrane. If possible, use protective covers or mats to shield the geomembrane during construction activities.

　　After Installation

　　After installation, the geomembrane should be protected from potential sources of damage. For example, fencing can be installed around the perimeter of the geomembrane to prevent unauthorized access and damage from vehicles or heavy equipment. In areas where wildlife may be a problem, measures such as netting or scare devices can be used to deter animals from damaging the geomembrane.
