Free Webinar on Fabrication, Installation & Testing of Geomembranes (11 December 2019)
Factory fabrication can result in shorter construction time (and costs), higher seam quality, and a better completed liner system. Most fabricated geomembranes are less susceptible to wrinkling due to better dimensional stability, bending modulus, and flexibility which leads to better intimate contact with the subgrade and less risk of damage or wrinkle entrapment during soil covering.  The webinar will focus on factory and field quality assurance and control testing, e.g., seam testing and as well as seam shear and peel strength testing, and developing panel sizes. The use of leak location surveys prior to and/or after soil covering also will be discussed.
