TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS <br />3.2 ACCEPTANCE <br />A. CONTRACTOR shall retain all ownership and responsibility for the geomembrane until final <br />acceptance. The geomembrane shall be accepted by CC &V when all of the following conditions are <br />met: <br />1. Installation is finished. <br />2. Verification of the adequacy of all seams and repairs, including associated testing, is complete. <br />3. Certification, including QC documentation is provided by CONTRACTOR to MANAGER. <br />4. Recommended acceptance by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER. <br />5. The entire project, including drain cover fill placement is completed. <br />3.3 ANCHOR TRENCH <br />A. The anchor trenches shall be excavated to the lines, grade, and width shown on the DRAWINGS, prior <br />to geosynthetic placement. CERTIFYING ENGINEER shall verify that the anchor trench has been <br />constructed according to the DRAWINGS. <br />B. Slightly rounded corners shall be provided in the trench where the geomembrane adjoins the trench to <br />avoid sharp bends in the geomembrane. <br />C. The anchor trench shall be backfilled and compacted as approved by MANAGER, DESIGN <br />ENGINEER, and CERTIFYING ENGINEER. Trench backfill material shall be placed in eight (8) <br />to twelve (12) inch thick loose lifts and compacted by wheel rolling with light, rubber - tired, or other <br />light compaction equipment, as approved by CERTIFYING ENGINEER. <br />D. Care shall be taken when backfilling the trenches to prevent any damage to the geomembrane. At no <br />time shall construction equipment come into direct contact with the geomembrane. If damage occurs, it <br />shall be repaired by CONTRACTOR prior to the completion of backfilling, at no cost to CC &V. <br />E. Extend geomembrane into the anchor trench as shown in the DRAWINGS. The geomembrane shall be <br />seamed along the entire distance of the anchor trench to the termination of the geomembrane sheet. <br />3.4 PROTECTION <br />A. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the following: <br />1. Do not use equipment or tools, which damage the geomembrane by handling, trafficking, <br />excessive heat, leakage of hydrocarbons, or other means. <br />2. Ensure prepared surface underlying geomembrane has not deteriorated since previous acceptance, <br />and remains acceptable until acceptance by CC &V, as detailed in Section 3.2. <br />3. Keep geotextile elements immediately underlying the geomembrane clean and free of debris. <br />4. Do not permit personnel to smoke or wear damaging shoes while working on geomembrane. <br />5. Unroll panels in a manner, which prevents scratches or crimps in geomembrane and does not <br />damage supporting subgrade. <br />6. Place panels in a manner that prevents wrinkles (especially differential wrinkles between adjacent <br />panels). <br />7. Prevent wind uplift and damage to geomembrane subgrade by providing temporary and permanent <br />loading and /or anchoring that will not damage geomembrane. <br />8. Minimize direct contact of equipment and personnel with geomembrane. <br />Geomembrane August 28, 2013 <br />02776.1 -9 Revision 0 <br />S \Projects \1550 - CC &V Field Spt CQA PSES Bldg \8 0 Project Engineering and Design \8 2 Specifications\PSES Pipe Rack Liner Extension Specifications \02776 I Geomembrane docx <br />
