Assessing Potential Geomembrane Damage from Direct Construction Equipment Contact

Abstract
A long-standing installation practice is that light weight equipment (like ATVs) can be driven on previously placed geomembranes to position and deploy additional geomembranes or other geosynthetics. This practice has been recently challenged by installers who currently have larger equipment with lower tire pressures than ATVs, and by regulators who will not allow equipment on the previously placed geomembrane whatever the type or tire pressure. The paper describes a field oriented set of experiments and the preliminary steps to be taken when the project begins this summer.
