Detecting Defects in Geomembranes of Landfill Liner Systems—A Durable Electrical Method
Publication: Geo-Frontiers 2011: Advances in Geotechnical Engineering
Abstract
Monitoring the geomembrane's integrity becomes an essential part of recent construction quality assurance (CQA) and quality control (QC) programs in order to guarantee an optimal performance of the liner barrier. However, the existing electrical methods of leak detection for landfill barriers are generally expensive and allow only a temporary detection of geomembrane damages. Authors suggest a novel permanent electrical leak detection method for landfill barrier. Compared to existing methods, the proposed Electrical Circuits Method (ECM), which is based on the installation of big parallel electrical circuits over the landfill site, appears more cost-effective and more affordable
