Remember: Quality control is vital during the liner installation and welding. Field crews must have proper qualifications, training, and experience to complete these exacting tasks. The geosynthetic contractor will usually be required to carry out nondestructive field testing of every seam and weld. Destructive tests are often specified to be completed at intervals with a third-party construction quality-assurance consultant present at all times. A leak-detection survey, carried out before the lined facility is put into service, can help ensure the safe and problem-free operation of the impoundment.
