® • Verify that materials are stored in a location that will protect the rolls from ultraviolet <br /> light exposure,precipitation,mud,dirt,dust,puncture,cutting,or any other damaging or <br /> deleterious conditions. <br /> Any damaged rolls may be rejected. Verify that rejected material is removed from the site or stored <br /> at a location separate from accepted rolls. GCL rolls that do not have proper manufacturer's <br /> documentation must also be stored at a separate location,until all documentation has been received <br /> and approved. <br /> 4.5.2 Acceptance Testing <br /> Tests. The QA/QC Consultant will ensure that samples are removed and forwarded to the <br /> Geosynthetic CQA Laboratory for testing at a frequency of one sample per lot or one per 100,000 sq. <br /> ft., whichever is more stringent, to ensure conformance to both the Specifications and the <br /> Manufacturers list of guaranteed properties. The material will be sampled at the site by the QA/QC <br /> Inspectors or at the manufacturing plant by an independent third party under the direction of the <br /> QA/QC Consultant. <br /> As a minimum, the following will be established: <br /> • Bentonite mass per unit area per ASTM D5993; <br /> • Peel strength of GCLs per ASTM D4632; and <br /> • Hydraulic conductivity of GCLs per ASTM D5084. <br /> Direct Shear Testing (ASTM 1)5321). The QA/QC Consultant shall perform a direct shear test <br /> (minimum one test per project or material type) between the project specific GCL, textured <br /> geomembrane, and geocomposite drainage net per ASTM D5321 and as described in the <br /> Specifications. <br /> The QA/QC Manager will review all acceptance test results and report any non-conformance to the <br /> Construction Manager and Contractor. <br /> Sampling Procedures. Samples will be taken across the entire width of the roll. Unless otherwise <br /> specified, samples will be 3 ft(I m) long by the roll width. The QA/QC Consultant will mark the <br /> machine direction on the samples with an arrow. <br /> Test Results.The QA/QC Consultant will examine all results from laboratory acceptance testing and <br /> will report any nonconformance to the Construction Manager. <br /> 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 /> Page 43 <br />
