Soil Surveys

 

Damage caused by heavy machinery while installing earth materials on geomembranes is the most significant cause of damage to geomembranes. A geoelectric leak location survey of the soil-covered geomembrane of a newly constructed landfill is a very cost-effective method for finding leaks that occur while placing a protective soil cover over the geomembrane liner. Surveys with soil on the liner are conducted by making point-by-point electrical measurements on the soil. The data is recorded in a portable data acquisition logger and then downloaded to a portable computer for processing and data analysis in the field.  Soil Surveys

  The electrical leak location method is a powerful tool used to detect electrical paths through leaks in a geomembrane liner.Electrical measurements are then made on the soil or in the water to locate these points of current flow through the leaks. ASTM D6747 describes the various implementations of the method.Electrical leak location surveys are conducted on the primary or secondary geomembrane liners with water or soil covering the liner.
