The Fabricated Geomembrane Institute (FGI) is a industry/academic
consortium of organizations interested in, and involved with, fabricated
geomembranes. The FGI is located at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
The FGI includes all fabricated geomembranes, i.e., all geomembranes
that are seamed and folded in a factory, transported to a site, and
deployed by unfolding the fabricated panel. The FGI is a nonprofit
organization and is dedicated to advancing the use of fabricated
geomembranes through education, research, and technology transfer.
The member organizations include domestic and international
manufacturers, fabricators/installers, material and equipment suppliers,
designers, consultants, QA organizations, testing laboratories, and
resin and additive suppliers. The FGI currently has 54
member organizations. See the “Current Members” section of this website for current members arranged by membership category, which is linked to their respective home pages.
The FGI functions under the general oversight of an elected board of
directors and the regular interaction with its members via monthly
teleconferences which are announced on the website. The entire
membership meets one to two times per year at industry conferences
and/or FGI short courses and suggests research topics and guidance on
the direction of the FGI.
