CONSTRUCTION QUALITY ASSURANCE <br /> FOR SYNTIIETICS <br /> 4.1 General <br /> The objectives of the geosynthetics CQA program are to: (i) assure that proper construction <br /> techniques and procedures are used; and (ii) that the project is completed in accordance with the <br /> Construction Drawings and Specifications. The intent of the CQA program is to: (i)to identify and <br /> define problems that may occur during construction; and (ii) to verify that these problems are <br /> corrected before construction is complete. <br /> This section describes CQA procedures for the installation of geosynthetic components. The <br /> following types of geosynthetics will be utilized for this project: <br /> • Geotextile; <br /> • 60-mil HDPE single-sided textured geomembrane; <br /> • Geosynthetic Clay Liner <br /> CQA for the geosynthetics installations will be performed to verify that geosynthetics are installed in <br /> accordance with the design. Construction must be conducted in accordance with the Construction <br /> Drawings and Specifications. To monitor compliance, the CQA program will (i) review the <br /> Contractor's quality control submittals; (ii) perform material acceptance testing; (iii) monitor and <br /> perform seam testing; and (iv) monitor installations. <br /> Control testing will be performed by the material manufacturer. The manufacturer will submit a <br /> quality control program prior to construction for the QA/QC Consultant to review and approve.The <br /> manufacturer's testing shall comply with the standards and frequencies as contained in the <br /> Specifications. Acceptance criteria are defined in the Specifications. <br /> All CQA testing will be conducted in accordance with this CQA manual and the Specifications. If a <br /> discrepancy exists in the testing requirements,the document that requires the most stringent testing <br /> will govern. <br /> Page 20 <br />
