The textured side of the HDPE geomembrane shall be facing down <br /> and shall be placed over the GCL in the lower box. <br /> 7) Place the geonet side of the geocomposite drainage net against the <br /> smooth side of the HDPE geomembrane. The geotextile side of the <br /> geocomposite drainage net shall be anchored to the upper box. <br /> 8) Saturate under test normal stress for 16 hours. Use normal stresses of <br /> 1,000;2,500;6,000;and 12,000 psf. <br /> 9) Shear at 0.04 in/min per ASTM D6243. <br /> 10)The testing laboratory should report the interface where deformations <br /> are observed, the initial moisture content of the bentonite component <br /> of the GCL,and the asperity of the geomembrane [GM-12]. <br /> b. A sample of each tested GCL shall be cut and tested for moisture content <br /> [ASTM D 2216] before and after testing. Moisture contents shall be <br /> recorded and submitted with the test results. The testing laboratory shall <br /> submit a 6-inch square sample of the GCL from the roll used in the testing <br /> to the QA/QC CONSULTANT. <br /> C. The asperity of the geomembrane [GM-12] used in testing shall be <br /> recorded aad the data submitted with the test results. The <br /> ,geomembrane used for testing shall be from one of the rolls that will <br /> be shipped to the site for construction of the liner. A 6-inch square <br /> sample of the geomembrane used in testing shall be submitted by the <br /> testing laboratory to the QA/QC CONSULTANT. <br /> PART 3 EXECUTION <br /> 3.1 FAMILIARIZATION <br /> A. Prior to ' implementing any of the work described in this Section, the <br /> GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR shall become thoroughly familiar with the <br /> site,the site conditions, and the portions of the work falling within this Section. <br /> B. Inspection: <br /> 1. Prior to implementing any of the work of this Section, the <br /> GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR shall carefully inspect the installed <br /> work of all other Sections and verify that all such work is complete to the <br /> point where the installation of this Section may properly commence without <br /> adverse impact. <br /> 2. If the GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR has any concern regarding the <br /> installed work of other Sections, he should immediately notify the QA/QC <br /> CONSULTANT prior to start of work of the Section. Installation of the <br /> geosynthetic clay liner will be construed as GEOSYNTHETICS <br /> CONTRACTOR'S acceptance of the related work of all other Sections, <br /> Forward Landfill WMU FU-13 6 GEOSYNTHETIC CLAY LINER(GCL) <br /> 02777 <br />
