Bare Liner Integrity Surveys Explained
Conductive layer makes it possible to detect leaks on wrinkles and other non -conductive surfaces, and it allows the liner to be retested as often as necessary

Understanding Arc Testing of Geomembranes
The ‘Arc Testing Method’ can only be used on new construction bare geomembranes, requires a semi-conductive layer below geomembrane, and liner surface must be clean and dry. Its main advantage is that it is highly accurate in detecting ‘Pin-hole’ size leaks. This method has an average survey speed of 900 m2 per hour per operator – almost doubled that of Spark Testing.
