Lining of storage ponds, canals, reservoirs, and rainwater retention basins. Our systems help mitigate the effects of climate change by enabling safe and efficient water storage and management.
Industrial containment and groundwater protection
Sealing of hall floors, transfer areas, and tank farms to prevent infiltration of pollutants. Our DIBt-approved geomembranes and installation services ensure safe containment of process water and environmentally hazardous liquids.
Installation in action
Across continents and climates, our teams bring quality to life. See how our installers deliver precision, safety, and reliability in the field through featured project videos and case studies.
Pit Thermal Energy Storage reservoir construction on the Tibetan Plateau
At 4,600 m, Tibet’s first pit thermal storage uses Solmax geosynthetics to store 700 MWh of solar heat, supplying 90 percent of Langkazi’s district heating demand.
At Bornhausen, our team installed 150,000 m² of geosynthetics, including geomembranes, drainage composites, and geosynthetic clay liners, to seal a Class II landfill. On a 7.5-hectare site with slopes up to 1:3, our BAM-certified products safeguard groundwater through effective surface sealing.
Hydraulic separation with geosynthetics at a potash mine
In an ongoing project to secure a potash tailings pile, we are extending the footprint of the stockpile. This involves constructing 5-m high embankments with geosynthetic sealing sheets for hydraulic separation between the old and new stockpiles.
Wherever reliability matters, our installation teams deliver.

Purpose-fit solutions, worldwide.
Solmax installation teams deliver tailored geosynthetic systems for a broad range of applications.
From site preparation to final testing, we provide complete installation solutions, designed for durability, environmental safety, and cost-effective performance.
Landfill construction and contaminated site remediation
Installation of composite liner and capping systems that provide reliable long-term sealing to protect soil and groundwater from contamination. Sealing geomembranes, bentonite liners, and drainage mats are selected for chemical, biological, and mechanical resistance.
Pit thermal energy storage (PTES)
Professional construction and sealing of large-scale earth basin heat storage systems. These seasonal thermal reservoirs enable the long-term storage of solar or process heat for flexible use in district heating networks.
Mining operations
Installation of geomembrane systems for heap leach pads, process ponds, evaporation ponds, and tailings storage facilities. These lining systems provide chemical resistance, stability, and containment performance under demanding operational conditions.
Transport infrastructure
Installation of waterproofing and barrier systems in road, rail, and tunnel construction. Our teams produce geomembrane-compliant tunnel waterproofing systems using GSE® geomembranes, profile strips, and purpose-built installation scaffolds.
Quality & Certifications
We hold ourselves to high standards because quality is not negotiable.
Our installations are executed under a certified ISO 9001 quality management system, ensuring process control from planning through final acceptance.
Testing procedures, including pressure, vacuum, and spark tests, verify the integrity of every weld. Materials and seams are verified through GAI-LAP-accredited laboratories, ensuring independent quality assurance and long-term durability.
We rely on proven welding technology from Leister, combined with continuous training and equipment maintenance, to achieve consistent, high-strength seams and reliable containment performance on every site.
Our installation competence center operates under rigorous quality, safety, and environmental standards. Key certifications, accreditations, and memberships include:
A three-layer geosynthetic solution for Schoeneicher landfill
A landfill capping system was installed in Schoeneicher Plan, Germany, using geosynthetic clay liners, geomembranes and drainage geocomposites.
Our geomembranes and drainage systems are reliable solutions for waste management, protecting soil and groundwater from pollutants. Certified by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), our products comply with stringent landfill regulations.
