To minimize this risk, the liner should always be sent for independent testing when: • Liner quality is in question; • Non-certified geomembrane; • Not all raw material and resin properties are listed/provided in certificates; • Certificates and documentation have been lost; • For any large projects, a representative amount of the geomembrane should be sent for independent testing; • For any government or critical containment projects, geomembrane should be sent for third party testing as required; • when on deployment gels, fisheyes, inclusions, blemishes are observed; • After first fabricator/installer site welds has been performed; • Geomembrane failures or weld failures have occurred; • When tender documents call for equal/approved products; • High risk applications such as environmentally sensitive projects; • When you want to determine the remaining life expectancy of an existing liner/cover installation; • For product and/or design validations; • To validate statements made by manufacturers and/or distributors of goods; • To have peace of mind. http://www.excelplas.com/ Stay Up to Date with the Latest Geosynthetic News by Signing Up for the GNA Newsletter! https://www.geosyntheticnews.com.au/subscribe/ • GNA now has +30,000 views per month • Articles published on GNA get thousands of views and are distributed widely through 3rd Party Affiliates • GNA is now the most read source of Breaking News on Geosynthetics Worldwide • Since GNA is published up to 12 times per month, no other source of Geosynthetic Industry News comes close to being as current and up-to-date • In 2017 we have increased readership by 10,000+ though India, Africa and Asia • Special Advertising Packages Available for Geosynthetic Manufacturers, Installers, and Service Providers.
