Abstract:
A liquid resistant containment membrane and which is durable enough to remain in place during the drilling and fracking phases to eliminate the delay and cost of replacement or can be relocated from site to site, has a slip resistant top surface, is a flexible membrane, and/or which top portion of the containment membrane does not absorb liquids. The containment membrane comprises a polymer waterproof layer and a reinforcement layer. The reinforcement layer is connected to a bottom side of the polymer waterproof layer.

Claim (Index 28):
A method for protecting an area of ground in a worksite by forming a containment system comprising the steps of:\n providing a plurality of strips of a liquid-proof containment membrane capable of blocking contaminants from seeping therethrough, each strip of said containment membrane having a top and bottom surface and comprising a polymer waterproof layer forming said top surface of said container membrane and a reinforcement layer that is secured to said polymer waterproof layer, said reinforcement layer positioned below said top surface of said containment membrane; arranging said plurality of strips of containment membrane on the worksite to cover a top surface of the worksite, said bottom surface of each strip of containment membrane facing said top surface of the worksite; and, forming a liquid-proof or liquid-resistant heat-created melted seam or a liquid-proof or liquid-resistant adhesive bond between said side edges or side portions of said adjacently positioned strips of said containment membrane to form said containment system on said worksite.
