INTRODUCTION <br />1.2 These guidelines are based upon many years of experience at a variety of sites and should <br />be generally applicable to any type of lining project using CETCO's GCLs. Variance from <br />these guidelines is at the engineers discretion. <br />1.3 The performance of the GCL is wholly dependent on the quality of its installation. It is the <br />installers responsibility to adhere to these guidelines, and to the project specifications and <br />drawings, as closely as possible. It is the engineers and owners responsibility to provide <br />construction quality assurance (CQA) for the installation, to ensure that the installation has <br />been executed properly. This document covers only installation procedures. <br />1.4 For additional guidance, refer to ASTM D5888 (Standard Guide For Storage and Handling of <br />Geosynthetic Clay Liners) and ASTM D 6102 (Standard Guide For Installation of Geosynthetic <br />Clay Liners). <br />EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS <br />2.1 CETCO GCLs are delivered in rolls typically 2,600-2,950 lbs (1180-1340 kg). Roll dimensions <br />and weights will vary with the dimensions of the product ordered. It is necessary to <br />support this weight using an appropriate cord. pipe as indicated in Table 1. For any <br />installation, the core pipe must not deflect more than 3 inches (75 mm) as measured <br />from end to midpoint when a full GCL roll is lifted. <br />®~ <br />0 <br />BENTOMAT/CLAYMAX Installation Guidelines 3 of 15 <br />~. 1.1 This document provides procedures for the installation of CETCO's GCLs in a manner that <br />maximizes safety, efficiency, and the physical integrity of the GCL. <br />
