The landscape project was developed by well-known designers. The main goal was to integrate the ornamental ponds, streams and waterfalls into the natural landscape. There were very strict requirements for waterproofing materials, as very heavy boulders and stones were to be placed on top of the membrane.
Moscow-based contractor GK GLOBUS International installed about 12,200 m² of Elevate’s PondGard EPDM lining membrane to waterproof an 800 m long decorative pond with a depth ranging from 0.6 to 2 meters. Koi fish were then added to the pond.
Robust and flexible, PondGard EPDM is ideal for reproducing a natural landscape with streams and waterfalls. It is chemically inert and resistant to algae and micro-organisms, which makes it safe for aquatic flora and fauna.
