Some geosynthetics are manufactured to withstand long term exposure to the elements, extreme temperatures, and puncture resistance. With this is mind, proper on-site material storage prior to installation is still critical. This small step can help ensure your liner materials are useable, damage free and able to live up to expectations when it comes time for installation. Element Elimination Degradation of geosynthetics can come from a variety of natural factors. Some products, such as PVC Geomembrane and geotextile, are excellent for use in buried applications and are not formulated for extended UV exposure. Over time, sunny conditions can degrade the quality of the product; potentially impacting their long-term performance. Moisture is also a consideration for geosynthetics such as Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL). It is essential that rolls of GCL and similar materials be kept dry prior to installation, as premature hydration may result in unus...
