The core is not necessarily intended to,support the roll for lifting but should be <br /> sufficiently strong to prevent collapse during transit. <br /> B. All rolls shall be labeled and bagged in packaging that is resistant to photodegradation <br /> by ultraviolet (UV) light. <br /> 2.5 Accessory Bentonite <br /> A. The granular bentonite sealing clay used for overlap seaming, penetration sealing and <br /> repairs shall be made from the same natural sodium bentonite as used in the GCL and <br /> shall be as recommended by the GCL manufacturer. Seaming of GCLs shall be <br /> conducted in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines for each particular GCL. <br /> 3.0 EXECUTION <br /> 3.1 Shipping and Handling <br /> A.

Unloading, on-site handling and storage of <br /> the GCL are the responsibility of the Contractor, Installer or other designated party. <br /> B. A visual inspection of each roll should be made during unloading to identify if any <br /> packaging has been damaged.

A dedicated storage <br /> area shall be selected at the job site that is away from high traffic areas and is level, dry <br /> and well drained. <br /> B. Rolls should be stored in a manner that prevents sliding or rolling from the stacks and <br /> may be accomplished by the use of chock blocks. Rolls should be stacked at a height <br /> no higher than that at which the lifting apparatus can be safely handled (typically no <br /> higher than four). <br /> C. All stored GCL materials and the accessory bentonite must be covered with a plastic <br /> sheet or tarpaulin until their installation. <br /> 2870 Forbs Avenue Hoffman Estates, 1L 60192 ' .,` <br /> 847.851.1800 1800.527.9948 <br /> www.CETCO.com <br />
