| Summary |
All involved in the design, construction, permitting, and operation of waste-containment facilities and fabrication of geosynthetic material will find this Daniel and Koerner offering an essential technical resource |
|
Properly constructed and carefully maintained waste-containment facilities protect human health and the environment. In Waste Containment Facilities, David E. Daniel and Robert M. Koerner provide the technical guidance for the complex task of ensuring construction quality control and assurance (CQC/CQA), as well as manufacturing quality assurance and control (MQA/MQC) of geosynthetics, such as geomembranes, geotextiles, geonets, geogrids and geosynthetic clay liners. In addition to describing dozens of types of tests and observations, the necessary steps to formulate a successful CQC/CQA program are examined in detail. All types of waste-containment facilities are covered including hazardous-waste landfills and impoundments, municipal solid-waste landfills, non-hazardous-waste liquid impoundments, and final covers for new facilities and site remediation projects |
