Guideline for Installation of Factory Fabricated Lightweight < 0.64 mm (25 mil) Thickness Geomembranes

This guideline is an installation guideline for factory-fabricated fabric-supported lightweight geomembranes (< 0.64mm or < 25 mil in thickness as measured by ASTM D5199, D751, or D1777). This guideline is designed to provide a minimum set of standards for site installation. However, depending on the complexity and project-specific requirements, a qualified design engineering firm may be required for the design and installation specifications of the geomembrane.
