• observe that required overlap distances are met;
• monitor and record ambient air temperatures;
• verify that no continuous horizontal seams are placed on slopes unless approved by
CERTIFYING ENGINEER; and
• observe and document that all soil materials placed on top of the geosynthetics are done in
such a manner as to ensure that the geosynthetics are not damaged.
6.03.01 GEOMEMBRANE:
ame0
During geomembrane installation, the CQA Monitor shall observe and document deployment, trial seams,
field seaming, non - destructive and destructive seam testing, and repairs to assure that the installation is in
compliance with the SPECIFICATIONS.
Deployment - The CQA Monitor shall verify that only approved materials are used, each panel is
given a unique panel number, no geomembrane is placed during unsuitable weather conditions as
outlined in Section 02776, Article 1.05 of the SPECIFICATIONS, the geomembrane is not
damaged during installation, and anchoring is performed in compliance with the
SPECIFICATIONS and design DRAWINGS. The CQA Monitor shall record the deployment on
the deployment log form.
Trial Seams - The CQA Monitor shall verify that seaming conditions are performed in compliance
with SPECIFICATIONS, tests are performed at required intervals, specified test procedures are
followed, and retests are performed in compliance with the SPECIFICATIONS. If the ambient air
temperature measured by the CQA Monitor is above 35 °F for the entire day, the INSTALLER
shall perform trial seams at the beginning of each crew shift, and immediately following any work
stoppage (i.e., for lunch, weather conditions, etc.) of for more than 1 hour or at the discretion of
the CERTIFYING ENGINEER, for each seaming apparatus used that day. If the ambient air
temperature measured by the CQA Monitor is below 35 °F for the entire day, the INSTALLER
shall perform four (4) trial seams, at approximately the same time interval throughout the
scheduled work day. Each Seamer shall make at least one trial seam each day. Seaming operation
shall not commence until the CQA Monitor has determined that the seaming process is meeting
the SPECIFICATION requirement and is acceptable. The CQA Monitor shall record the trial
weld results on the trial seam log form.
Field Seaming - The CQA Monitor shall verify that only approved equipment and personnel
perform welding, all welding is performed under suitable conditions as specified in the project
SPECIFICATIONS, specified overlaps are achieved, seams are oriented in compliance to project
requirements, and that grinding techniques and extrudate meet project requirements for extrusion
welding. The CQA Monitor shall record all field seaming on field seaming log forms.
Non - Destructive Seam Continuity Testing - The CQA Monitor shall verify that all seams and
repair are non - destructively tested in compliance with the project SPECIFICATIONS. If a seam
cannot be tested, the seam shall be capped. The CQA Monitor shall observe capping operations.
The CQA Monitor shall verify that test equipment and gauges are functioning properly and that
test procedures are in compliance with the project SPECIFICATIONS. The CQA Monitor shall
verify that all seams and repairs with failing test results are repaired and/or re- tested until passing
results are achieved. The CQA Monitor shall record all non - destructive test locations on the
vacuum test and pressure test log forms.
