Part 5 of the 5-Part CQA Series will focus on activities that owners and operators should perform to maintain their liner system after installation. The post installation activities will extend the service life of the liner system and includes visual and mechanical inspections, maintaining soil cover in unexposed applications especially in the south facing direction, and checking on connections of the geomembrane to penetrations for a variety of applications. Best practices for locating the leakage source, determining an appropriate action leakage rate, and conducting electrical leak surveys also will be discussed.
