Abstract
This paper considers a technical and economic comparison oftwo technologies for lining irrigation channels: the traditional method using concrete slabs and modern alternative – composite materials based on geomembrane and geotextile. As part of the study, the following tasks were performed: calculation of the volume of materials (concrete slabs, geomembrane, geotextiles, anchors); assessment of labor costs and equipment required to perform the work; analysis of logistical costs and the number oftransport trips; comparison of service life and operating costs over 30 years; assessment of the total cost of construction and maintenance of cladding. A comparative analysis was carried out according to the following criteria: the cost of materials and installation, the timing of work, logistical efficiency, operational characteristics and durability of structures. According to the results of the study, composite materials can reduce total costs by more than 3 times, accelerate work by 2.34 times and reduce operating costs by 3.95 times.
