Case Study
Custom HDPE liner system for the launch complex deluge water basin at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
The Challenge
NASA required a high-performance containment liner for the sound suppression water system at Kennedy Space Center's launch complex. The system needed to withstand extreme conditions including high-temperature water discharge up to 180°F, acoustic forces exceeding 180 dB, and chemical exposure from launch exhaust. Standard liner systems were not rated for the thermal and mechanical stress profile.
Our Approach
EFI designed and installed a custom HDPE geomembrane liner system for the deluge basin, engineered to meet NASA's exacting specifications for chemical resistance, durability, and performance under extreme thermal and mechanical stress. The installation required specialized welding techniques and a multi-layer anchor system to withstand launch-induced vibration and thermal cycling.
Outcomes
“EFI delivered a containment system that meets the most demanding specifications we've ever written. Six years in service with zero issues — exactly what a launch facility requires.”
