Acceptance Test Failure. If a GCL acceptance sample does not comply with the minimum <br /> requirements of the Specifications,the GCL roll from which the sample was taken will be failed by <br /> the QA/QC Consultant, and replaced by the GCL Manufacturer at no additional cost to the Owner. <br /> 4.5.3 GCL Installation <br /> The Geosynthetics Contractor will handle all GCLs in such a manner as to ensure that they are not <br /> damaged in any way, and will comply with the following. <br /> • In the presence of wind,all GCLs will be sufficiently weighted with sandbags to prevent <br /> their movement. Such sandbags will be installed during placement and will remain until <br /> replaced with the overlying layer. <br /> • GCLs will be cut using a utility knife in a manner approved by the QA/QC Inspector. <br /> Care should be taken to prevent damage to any underlying liner system components <br /> during cutting. <br /> • During placement, care will be taken not to entrap stones, or moisture under the GCL. <br /> Care will be taken not to drag equipment across the exposed GCL. <br /> • Any GCL damaged by stones or other foreign objects, or installation activities will be <br /> replaced at no additional cost to the Owner. <br /> • The GCL will not be installed on a saturated subgrade or on standing water. The GCL <br /> will be installed in a way that prevents hydration of the mat prior to completion of <br /> construction of the liner system. <br /> • The GCL will not be installed during precipitation or other conditions that may cause <br /> hydration of the GCL. <br /> • The GCL will be installed with the woven geotextile up,or as otherwise indicated by the <br /> GCL Manufacturer or Design Engineer. <br /> • Geomembrane installation will immediately follow the GCL installation. All GCL that is <br /> placed during a day's work will be covered with geomembrane before the Geosynthetics <br /> Contractor leaves the site at the end of the day. <br /> • Geomembrane will not be placed on a GCL that is hydrated. <br /> • All seams in the geomembrane overlying a GCL will be welded after each geomembrane <br /> panel is placed. Heat sealing of the seam alone is not acceptable. <br /> • All defects in the geomembrane overlying a GCL and destructive sample locations will <br /> be immediately repaired. <br /> Page 41 <br />
