4. Geocomposite panels shall be of sufficient continuous length to cover the entire slope, including anchor trenches and runouts, without horizontal seaming. C. Geotextile shall be thermally bonded to geonet components of Geocomposite material rather than chemically bonded. 2.3 MANUFACTURING QUALITY CONTROL A. The Geocomposite shall be manufactured with quality control procedures sufficient for certification requirements of this section and that meet generally accepted industry standards. B. The Geocomposite Manufacturer shall sample and test the Geocomposite to demonstrate that the material conforms to all requirements of this section. C. Any Geocomposite sample that does not comply with this section will result in rejection of the roll from which the sample was obtained. The GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR shall replace any rejected rolls at no additional cost to the OWNER. D. If a Geocomposite sample fails to meet the quality control requirements of this section, the OWNER will require that the GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR sample and test each roll manufactured in the same lot, or at the same time, as the failing roll. Sampling and testing of rolls shall continue until a pattern of acceptable test results is established. E. Additional sample testing may be performed, at the GEOSYNTHETIC CONTRACTOR's discretion and expense, to more closely identify any non- complying rolls and/or to qualify individual rolls. Sampling shall, in general, be performed on sacrificial portions of the Geocomposite material such that repair is not required. F. The Geocomposite shall conform to the physical property requirements in Table 02774-1. The GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR shall provide the QA/QC CONSULTANT with control test results for the properties listed in the following table at a minimum frequency of 1 test per 100,000 square feet of material,except for apparent opening size, permittivity, and performance transmissivity testing which shall be performed at a frequency of 1 test every 600,000 square feet. For projects with less than 100,000 sf of Geocomposite,the performance transmissivity test shall be performed and the index transmissivity test may be eliminated.
