INSTALLATION <br />5.1 GCL rolls should be taken to the work area of the site in their original packaging. The orientation of <br />the GCL (i.e., which side faces up) may be important if the GCL has two different types of <br />geosynthetics. Check with the project engineer in order to determine if there is a preferred <br />installation orientation for the GCL. If no specific orientation is required, allow the roll to unwind <br />from the bottom rather than pulling from the top (Figure 5). The arrow sticker on the plastic sleeve <br />indicates the direction the GCL will naturally unroll when placed on the ground (Figure 6). Prior to <br />deployment, the packaging should be carefully removed without damaging the GCL. <br />THE GCL CAN BE UNROLLED IN ITS "NATURAL" ORIENTATION (A) <br />OR CAN BE PULLED FROM THE TOP OF THE ROLL (B) <br />-~ `~ <br />"NATURAL" ORIENTATION lA) (B) <br />DIRECTION TO UNROLL GCL ON GROUND PER FIGURE 5(A) <br />5.2 Equipment which could damage the GCL should not be allowed to travel directly on it. Acceptable <br />installation, therefore, may be accomplished such that the GCL is unrolled in front of <br />backwards-moving equipment (Figure 7). If the installation equipment causes rutting of the subgrade, <br />the subgrade must be restored to its originally accepted condition before placement continues. <br />o° <br />BENTOMAT/CLAYMAX Installation Guidelines <br />7of15 <br />
