2002 -41- 003-2203 <br />. Poly-Flex constructed approximately 76,8121ineal feet of fusion welded seams, and <br />1,8491ineal feet of extrusion welded seams. The specified frequency of destructive testing was <br />one test per SOO lineal feet of weld. Golder identified and Poly-Flex obtained destructive <br />samples from the geomembrane panel seams at a frequency of one destructive test sample per <br />468 lineal feet of fusion welded seams, and one per 205 lineal feet of extrusion welded seams. <br />The test frequency exceeded project requirements. <br />Field destructive testing of seams consisted of testing ten 1-inch wide coupons, five of which <br />were tested for peel, and five of which were tested for sheaz. Poly-Flex tested the inside and <br />outside tracks of the fusion welds for peel. Poly-Flex performed all destructive tests on-site <br />using a field tensiometer, and Golder observed and documented all tests. <br />The specified acceptance criteria for 80-mil single-sided textured LLDPE to single-sided <br />textured 80-mil single-sided textured LLDPE sheaz tests was that four of the five coupons <br />. tested must have an ultimate strength of at least 112 pounds per pulling inch (ppi) prior to yield. <br />The specified acceptance criteria for pee] tests was that four of the five coupons tested must <br />have ultimate strength of at least 96 ppi and achieve a Film Tear Bond (FTB) upon breaking. <br />All destructive fusion seam and extrusion seam samples met specifications. <br />The specified acceptance criteria for 80-mil single-sided textured LLDPE to 80-mil VLDPE <br />sheaz tests was that four of the five coupons tested must have an ultimate strength of at least <br />88 pounds per pulling inch (ppi) prior to yield. The specified acceptance criteria for peel tests <br />were that four of the five coupons tested must achieve a Film Tear Bond (FTB) upon breaking. <br />All destructive fusion seam and extrusion seam samples met specifications. <br />The summaries of destructive test results for fusion and extrusion seams aze presented in <br />Appendix K-8. The Geomembrane Record Drawing No. 5 (Appendix A) shows the destructive <br />test sample locations. <br />i <br />r~oo~zzw~wao~c~nrteposuz~omzzos.oaooa~aomm~ Golder AssOCiateS <br />
