1.6, Section 07115, Subsection 1.4 and 1.5, specific methodology for liner<br />

placement field scanning, and placement of boots for monitoring wells,<br />

telephone poles, guide wires, fence posts, and o<strong>the</strong>r structures penetrating<br />

<strong>the</strong> liner were prepared by Canonie with cooperation and information from<br />

Nilex. This information was submitted to DHS two weeks before liner<br />

installation and is included as Appendix D.<br />

Upon delivery, <strong>the</strong> HDPE liner was stored in <strong>the</strong> area shown on Figure 4.<br />

When it was determined that <strong>the</strong> drum yard subgrade was completed, <strong>the</strong> liner<br />

was removed from <strong>the</strong> storage area and placed onto <strong>the</strong> drum yard using an<br />

extended arm crane. The 1 iner was rolled out and placed into position by<br />

laborers. A Nilex field technician <strong>the</strong>n fused <strong>the</strong> sheets of HDPE toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />

as per <strong>the</strong> working details that Nilex had provided. Nilex suggested that a<br />

better seal around <strong>the</strong> monitoring wells could be achieved if <strong>the</strong> concrete<br />

utility boxes were replaced with sono tubes. This would allow <strong>the</strong><br />

performed pipe boots to be used instead of using a field weld. This method<br />

was determined to be acceptable by Canonie, DHS, and CH2M HILL so long as<br />

<strong>the</strong> utility boxes were replaced and accessiblity to <strong>the</strong> monitoring wells<br />

maintained. Plans were made for utility box replacement so that <strong>the</strong> sono<br />

tubes could be used.<br />

Field vacuum testing and laboratory destructive testing of <strong>the</strong> liner seams<br />

were performed. Any seams that proved to be inadequately welded were re-<br />

welded and tested again to insure <strong>the</strong>ir integrity.<br />

2.6.2 Concrete Placement<br />

The placement of <strong>the</strong> concrete curb and catch basin conformed to Section<br />

03300 of <strong>the</strong> Construction Specifications and as is shown on <strong>the</strong><br />

construction drawings. The concrete curb was placed and allowed to cure<br />

five days before placement of final subsurface cover material and HDPE<br />

liner. The existing curb around <strong>the</strong> sump was removed and <strong>the</strong> sump<br />

backfilled with concrete so that <strong>the</strong> newly constructed curb could be<br />

extended over <strong>the</strong> sump. After <strong>the</strong> curb had been cured, <strong>the</strong> HDPE liner was<br />

fastened to <strong>the</strong> curb with Hilti concrete anchorages.
