Ponds, Permanent Pools & Geosynthetic Clay Liners
(OP)
Pond design, I need to sustain a permanent pool of water...
Does anyone use, or recently spec'ed a popular manufactured clay liner?
I would like to suggest a popular brand to our client, if possible.
My calcs show that I need an impenetrable ground surface. I am reading as much as I can on liners, I've seen the Benomatic liners,.. clay is embedded in the fabric (called a clay liner). But not comfortable on this topic.

do you have a specific manufacture in mind.
civilperson,
we will be constructing the pond, there is not a standing body of water....i think you're scenario assumes a standing body of water, correct?

I do not have a specific manufacturer in mind. If you google "PVC liner", you will get many manufacturers, ASTM references, and model specifications. A contractor friend of mine recently put in a liner to maintain permanent pool in a very sandy environment with a low groundwater table. I'll see if I can get some more information.
What is your specific situation, soil type, groundwater depth, etc?
