How to Measure an Irregularly Shaped Pond?

This ensures accurate measurements are taken, cutting down waste when creating custom-made liners for ponds, coal ash basin projects, etc.

Accurate Pond Measurements for Perfect-Fit Geomembrane Liners

Ensuring a custom-made geomembrane liner for your irregularly shaped pond requires precise measurements. This not only guarantees a proper fit but also minimizes material waste, saving you time and money. Engineering Solutions, a leading provider of high-quality geomembranes (including PVC and HDPE), offers this helpful guide to get you started.

Step-by-Step Measurement Process:

  1. Sketch the Pond Perimeter: Begin by creating a detailed sketch of your pond’s perimeter. This initial representation will serve as a foundation for further measurements.
  2. Centerline & Depth Measurements: Establish a central straight line running lengthwise through the pond. Measure the distance from the liner’s top termination point (at the slope’s peak) down through the pond to its opposite side’s termination point. Along this centerline, take measurements at 25-foot intervals (or closer for enhanced accuracy) or at points where the pond’s shape significantly changes (marked as dimensions w, x, y, and z in your sketch). Mark these points with stakes or flags.
  3. Perpendicular Depth Measurements: From each centerline point (w, x, y, and z), take perpendicular measurements down into the pond to reach the liner termination point. Record these measurements (represented as A1 & A2, B1 & B2, etc.) alongside the distance from the liner’s top termination point to the centerline at each point.
  4. Record and Share: Compile all the measurements on your initial pond sketch. This comprehensive data allows Engineering Solutions to generate precise shop drawings for custom-made geomembrane liner panels (labeled A, B, C, D) that perfectly fit your pond, minimizing material waste.
