fitment and overlapped/welded in situ. In larger projects, a panel may consist of an <br /> entire uncut roll. <br /> At the time of installation, the CLC Field Supervisor shall give each field panel an <br /> "identification code"(Number or letter-number).This field panel identification code shall <br /> be as simple and logical as possible. <br /> 4.3.0 Panel Placement <br /> Panels are located by the CLC Field Supervisor in a manner consistent with the <br /> specification and best suited to existing site conditions. Field Panels shall be placed one <br /> at a time and each shall be seamed immediately after its placement for protection <br /> against wind action or rainwater infiltration. <br /> CLC shall record the identification code, location,and date of installation of each <br /> geomembrane field panel. <br /> 4.4.0 Precautions During Panel Placement <br /> CLC shall ensure that: <br /> Any equipment used will not damage the geomembrane by handling, trafficking, <br /> excessive heat, leakage of fluids, or other means. <br /> The prepared surface underlying the geomembrane has not deteriorated since previous <br /> acceptance and is still acceptable immediately prior to liner placement. <br /> Any geosynthetic elements immediately underlying the geomembrane are clean and free <br /> of debris. <br /> All personnel working on the geomembrane do not smoke, wear damaging shoes, or <br /> engage in other activities which could damage the geomembrane. <br /> Methods used to unroll the panels does not cause scratches or crimps in the <br /> geomembrane and does not damage the supporting soil. <br /> Methods used to place the panels minimize wrinkles(especially differential wrinkles <br /> between adjacent panels). <br /> Adequate temporary ballast is placed over deployed lining panel edges to prevent wind <br /> uplift and is not likely to damage the geomembrane. In the event of high winds, <br /> continuous loading such as sandbags shall be placed end to end along edges of panels to <br /> minimize risk of wind effects. <br /> Direct contact with the geomembrane is minimized. Geotextiles, extra liner or other <br /> suitable materials shall be used as protective buffers in areas where excessive traffic may <br /> be expected. <br /> Created by Colorado Lining International 1-800-524-8672 4 <br />
