Design and Construction of Liner Systems
Description
Lining systems are used at the base of landfills, ponds and other fluid containments to prevent the flow of water, contaminants and other fluids into the ground. A typical liner system may consist of compacted clay, geosynthetic clay, and/or a geomembrane. This lecture presents three common liner systems used for minimizing flow of water or leachate along with their specification, construction and long-term performance.
