GRI White Paper #10/Test Method GTI2(A)
October 1st, 2015
Flammability? Zip ties? MARV? Ponds? GT specs? Questions and answers from the GMA Techline. I have reviewed GRI White Paper #10, GRI Test Method GT12(a), ASTM D4354, and ASTM D4759 and have a question.

Nonwoven needle-punched GT
October 1st, 2015
We specify that the geotextile under riprap must be nonwoven, needle-punched, Class 1. NCHRP Report 568 (page C-25, Section 7.1) requires that nonwoven geotextile filter under riprap must have a mass density greater than 12osy (ounces per square yard). We have the following questions: What is the cost difference between nonwoven needle-punched, Class 1 12osy […]

Flammability? Zip ties? MARV? Ponds? GT specs? Questions and answers from the GMA Techline. I’m designing an effluent pond (the geotechnical aspect at least) and have a couple of questions: Do you see any issues with placing a gravel (rounded) subdrain system underneath the pond, sandwiched between a geomembrane (likely textured HDPE) and a geotextile […]
GCL woven side against geomembrane
October 1st, 2015
Flammability? Zip ties? MARV? Ponds? GT Specs? Questions and answers from the GMA Techline. I seem to recall a webinar or presentation in which the presenter warned against using the woven side of a GCL against a geomembrane due to bentonite squeeze-out and subsequent slippage. Instead, the nonwoven side was recommended against the geomembrane with […]
HDPE flammability

Flammability? Zip yies? MARV? Ponds? GT specs? Questions and answers from the GMA Techline. I am involved with a landfill permit renewal. A question keeps coming up concerning the flammability potential of HDPE liner. What is that potential and do you know of any liner system fires? Eric | USA Eric, HDPE melts between 110 […]
