1. Scope of works
The scope of works covered by this specification is for the supply, installation and testing of a
(thickness)mm, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane,
The scope of work includes the following items:
Supply of all approved High Density Polyethylene geomembrane Welding and QA/QC
testing equipment.
Provision of QA/QC Certificates for Raw materials, Manufactured materials, Site works
and Site Testing as detailed in this specification.
Installation, Testing, submittals for approval and commissioning of all High Density
Polyethylene geomembrane lining as detailed in this specification.
2. Experience
The Installer shall, at the time of tendering, provide evidence of his ability and experience to
supply and install the specified HDPE geomembrane lining. The Installer at a minimum must
have at least five (5) years continuous experience in the installation of HDPE sheet. Full
details of experience must be lodged at the time of tender for approval by the Principal.
Failure to demonstrate prior use and vast experience with the specified materials will be
grounds for rejection of any tender.
Roll Weight
Roll Width
Cross reference numbers to Raw Material Batch and all Laboratory certified reports
The manufacturers approved QA stamp and the technicians signature
The material shall be free from holes, blisters, folds, undispersed raw materials, and any sign
of contamination by foreign matter.
Membrane material shall meet the requirements of the attached technical specifications.
3.2 QA/QC Requirement for Membrane Raw Materials
All raw material supplied to the manufacturer shall be delivered in rail car batches and must
be supplied with test certification from the raw material supplier. The certification must state
the results of tests which confirm the quality of the resin. The raw material supplier must also
confirm that each batch of resin is all of the same type and is 100% Virgin. Each batch of
resin shall be given an identification (bath) number and remain on file to keep track of all rolls
manufactured from each batch.
The use of any off spec, recycled or blends of resins will not be considered.
Prior to the production of the membrane, the Membrane Manufacturer tests the raw material
batches to certify that the raw material supplier test results identify the singular resin.
The Membrane Manufacturer shall provide certification and all available test results for raw
materials prior to the delivery of materials to site.
4. Subgrade Preparation
All subgrade surfaces, over which the HDPE Flexible Membrane shall be placed, will be
prepared as follows; New line area to be lined shall be smooth and free of stones, rocks,
roots, sticks and any sharp objects or debris on any kind. The surface shall provide a firm
unyielding uniform base for the membrane. The surface shall be compacted to a density to
allow the movement of vehicles, welding equipment and personnel on it without causing
rutting or other detrimental effect. The area to be lined shall not be effected by rising ground
water, or ponding of water. The earthworks contractor shall complete the subgrade
preparation to the approval of the lining contractor.

Certification and Test results of Raw Materials from Membrane Manufacturer
Roll Test Data Reports for Each Roll of Material
HDPE Welding rod Test Reports
Daily Installation Reports for each welder and technician:-
Completed as Built Drawing, including roll numbers, panel layout, seam locations and
repair locations.
9. Independent testing
The Principal at his own discretion and cost may require the Installer to extract random
samples of sheet from each roll and from welded seams to qualify the Manufacturers and
Installers test results. Samples shall be kept to a minimum and the following frequency of
samples shall apply:
ASTM
Density
Moisture
Brittleness
Melt Index
O.I.T.
D792
D570
D746
D1238
D3895
D3015
D1603

FTMS 101/2065
The following items shall be tested in both machine and cross direction:
ASTM
Tensile Yield Strength
Yield Elongation
Tensile Break Strength
Break Elongation
Tensile Impact Strength
Tensile Impact Elongation
Tear Resistance
Dimensional Stability

Any material rejected on site by the Principal shall be jointly inspected by the Principal, the
installer and the manufacturer. If required, the material shall be tested, and if the material is
unable to meet the specification, it shall be replaced by the manufacturer/installer at his cost.
