20 21 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation guideline for factory fabricated panels out of RhinoSkin and RhinoMat . This guideline is designed to provide a minimum set of standards for site installation . However, depending on the complexity and project specific requirements, a qualified design engineering firm may be required for design and installation specifications of the geomembrane . All work shall be in accordance with the project drawings, specifications and QC requirements . These Installation instructions are based on guidelines set out by the Fabricated Geomembrane Institute. Applications Typical applications for factory fabricated RhinoSkin and RhinoMat geomembranes that are less than 25 mil (0 .64 mm) in thickness include but are not limited to: • Irrigation and canal liners • Moisture barriers and covers for athletic fields • Golf course and decorative pond liners • Soil remediation pads • Interim and final landfill and Mine Reclamation cover systems • Shale oil and gas development, e .g ., drill pads and various liquid containment • Oil and gas production, e .g ., various secondary containment applications • Floating covers • Temporary Landfill Caps • Water reservoirs and ponds • Paved and unpaved roadways • Subgrade protection • Temporary erosion control • Barriers, blankets, and curtains • Rain sheets for Ore in Mining applications • Underslab vapor retarders ASTM References American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 .

ASTM International, West Conshohocken, PA Submittals Documents to be included in a submittal to the owner/engineer: 1 . Example material warranty and Geomembrane installation warranty . 2 . Sample of Geomembrane(s) to be installed including the technical data of the product . 3 . Reports of the results of examinations and testing shall be prepared and submitted to the Owner’s Representative . 4 . Shop drawings/panel layout for Geomembranes with panel numbers, field seam locations, corresponding to shipping labels . 5 . Submit resumes or qualifications of the installation supervisor and certified welding technicians . It is recommended that the welding technicians hold an International 6 . Association of Geosynthetic Installers (IAGI) Certified Welding Technician (CWT) certification . 7 . Documentation to be submitted by the Fabricator varies depending on the Owner’s requirements . These may include copy of tested seams, certifications, or any other document related to the quality of the Geomembranes and their installation . 8 . Fabricator and Installer QC Manuals . InterWrap Qualifications InterWrap has been producing these products for over 30 years . RhinoSkin and RhinoMat have been in production for the last 10 years and meet the minimum requirements set by FGI of at least five years of continuous experience in the manufacture of the geomembrane and the minimum of 2,000,000 m2 (21,527,820 ft2) of the specified geomembrane or similar product during the last 5 years . Fabricators Qualifications The fabricator of the geomembrane shall have fabricated a minimum of 250,000 m2/year (2,691,000 ft2/year) of the specified type or similar geomembranes . Installer’s Qualifications The Geomembrane Installer shall be the Fabricator, approved Fabricator’s Installer, or an installer/contractor approved by the Owner’s Representative . The installer shall have a minimum experience level of 50,000 m2 (538,200 ft2) using the specified geomembrane . It is the responsibility of any of the aforementioned parties to select a Geomembrane Installer with the appropriate degree of experience, personnel, and equipment to accomplish the required quality standards . Geomembrane Arrival at Project Site Unloading Inspect fabricated geomembrane panels prior to unloading from vehicle at project site (e .g . type of material, conditions, etc .) . Make any claims for damage with the carrier prior to unloading or shortly after geomembrane unloading . Materials delivered to site should be off-loaded (using forklift or similar equipment) in a location where minimum handling steps will be required . While unloading or transferring the fabricated panels from one location to another, prevent damage to the wrapping and the fabricated panel itself . Any damage during offloading and transferring should be documented by the contractor unloading the material and the installer .
