The GCL shall be wound around a rigid core whose diameter is sufficient to facilitate handling. The <br />core is not necessarily intended to support the roll for lifting but should be sufficiently strong to <br />prevent collapse during transit. <br />B. All rolls shall be labeled and bagged in packaging that is resistant to photo degradation by ultraviolet <br />(UV) light. <br />2.04 ACCESSORY BENTONITE <br />A. The granular bentonite sealing clay used for overlap seaming, penetration sealing and repairs shall be <br />made from the same natural sodium bentonite as used in the GCL and shall be as recommended by <br />the GCL MANUFACTURER. Seaming of GCLs shall be conducted in accordance with the <br />MANUFACTURER's guidelines. <br />PART 3: EXECUTION <br />3.01 SHIPPING AND HANDLING <br />A. The MANUFACTURER assumes responsibility for initial loading of the GCL. Unloading, on -site <br />handling and storage of the GCL are the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR, INSTALLER or <br />other designated party. <br />B. A visual inspection of each roll should be made during unloading to identify if any packaging has <br />been damaged. Rolls with damaged packaging should be marked and set aside for further inspection. <br />The packaging should be repaired prior to being placed in storage. <br />C. The party responsible for unloading the GCL should contact the MANUFACTURER prior to <br />shipment to ascertain the appropriateness of the proposed unloading methods and equipment. <br />A. Storage of the GCL rolls shall be the responsibility of the INSTALLER. A dedicated storage area <br />shall be selected at the job site that is away from high traffic areas and is level, dry and well drained. <br />B. Rolls should be stored in a manner that prevents sliding or rolling from the stacks and may be <br />accomplished by the use of chock blocks. Rolls should be stacked at a height no higher than that at <br />which the lifting apparatus can be safely handled (typically no higher than four). <br />C. All stored GCL materials and the accessory bentonite must be covered with a plastic sheet or <br />tarpaulin until their installation. <br />D. The integrity and legibility of the labels shall be preserved during storage. <br />Section 02776.1 Page 4 of 7 <br />Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) <br />June 19, 2012 <br />Revision 1 <br />
