Awesome article and quote from insurance industry on landfill liners. The predominant cause of liner failures at present, as investigated by this author, is a lack of sufficient knowledge of liner materials performance by design engineers. Civil and geotechnical engineers, even electrical engineers, with insufficient work in their own fields are expanding into the perceived lucrative environmental protection field to work with these “simple sheets of plastic that conform to the shape of the ground, that are completely impermeable, and that just need heating and pressing together to make a waterproof joint” Questions for GGH: Will the liner have a flourinated surface treatment to improve resistance to chemicals. Will the liner have a conductive surface coating to allow spark testing to find leaks and defects in the liner installation. geosynthetica.net/uploads/insurancefs.doc
