When installing over certain geosynthetic materials, a 4-wheel, all-terrain
<br />vehicle (AN) can be used to deploy the GCL. An AN can be driven directly on
<br />the GCL provided that no sudden stops, starts, or turns are made.

<br />a~'31~~-'..._.AtL'lot and roll numbers should be recorded and compared to the packing list. Each roll of GCL
<br />should also be visually inspected during unloading to determine if any packaging has been
<br />damaged. Damage, whether obvious or suspected, should be recorded and the affected
<br />i rolls marked.
<br />3.2 Major damage suspected to have occurred during transit should be reported immediately to the
<br />carrier and to CETCO. The nature of the damage should also be indicated on the bill of lading"
<br />with the specific lot and roll numbers. Accumulation of small amounts of moisture within roll
<br />packaging is normal and does not damage the product.
<br />3.3 The party directly responsible for unloading the GCL should refer to this manual prior to shipment
<br />to ascertain the appropriateness of their unloading equipment and procedures. Unloading and
<br />on-site handling of the GCL should be supervised.
<br />3.4 In most cases, CETCO GCLs are delivered on flatbed trucks. There are three methods of
<br />unloading: core pipe and spreader bar; slings; or stinger bar. To unload the rolls from the
<br />flatbed using a core pipe and spreader bar, first insert the core pipe through the core tube.
<br />Secure the lifting chains or straps to each end of the core pipe and to the spreader bar
<br />mounted on the lifting equipment. Hoist the roll straight up and make sure its weight is evenly
<br />distributed so that it does not tilt or sway when lifted.
<br />3.5 At the customer's request, CETCO GCLs may be delivered with two 2" x 12' (50 mm x 3.65 m) Type V
<br />polyester endless slings on each roll. Before lifting, check the position of the slings. Each sling
<br />should be tied off in the choke position approximately one third (1/3) from the end of the roll.
<br />Hoist the roll straight up so that it does not tilt or sway when lifted.
