WMU FU-05 November 2006 <br /> Forward Landfill Project No.021605.07 <br /> Size of Samples - Prior to testing in the laboratory, two samples, one at each end of <br /> the actual sample location, were cut for field-testing. If both specimens passed the <br /> field test, the sample was taken to the laboratory for testing. The size of the <br /> destructive samples was approximately 12 inches wide by 42 inches long. <br /> Laboratory Testing - The samples were taken to Vector's on-site laboratory for <br /> destructive testing of the seam. The samples were tested with a certified, <br /> calibrated tensiometer according to the requirements of ASTM D-6392. After seam <br /> strength tests for the destructive samples were obtained, the results were given <br /> verbally to the Contractor and were also reviewed by Vector's CQA Officer. The <br /> results of the destructive seam tests performed by Vector are presented within <br /> Appendix I. <br /> 5.3.3 Defects and Repair <br /> 5.3.3.1 Identification <br /> Vector's CQA Monitor checked seams and non-seam areas of the geomembrane for <br /> defects, holes, blisters, undispersed raw materials, and for signs of contamination <br /> by foreign matter. Vector's CQA Monitor examined each suspect location. Vector's <br /> CQA Monitor distinctively marked the repair area with a description of the required <br /> type of repair. No materials were placed over the geomembrane until Vector's CQA <br /> Monitor had approved the repair. <br /> 5.3.3.2 Repair Procedures and Testing <br /> The repairs were conducted in accordance with the applicable method specified <br /> within the project specifications. Vector's CQA Monitor reviewed each repair and <br /> that subsequent testing was performed. Repairs and testing are documented in the <br /> repair log presented in Appendix I. <br /> Vector Engineering, Inc. • 143E Spring Hill Drive•Grass Valley,CA 95945•(530)272-2448 <br /> -30- <br />
