Abstract

A General Contractor (through their counsel) retained GeoSystems Consultants, Inc. and I-Corp International, Inc. (through their counsel) to investigate the merits of their subcontractor's (installer's) contention that a large number of seam failures associated with the installation of a textured high-density, polyethylene (HDPE-T) geomembrane on a latter phase (10 ha) of an ongoing closure of an eastern Pennsylvania landfill was caused by the presence of BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) vapours off-gassing from the landfill. In addition, we were requested to review project field seam data and to examine field seam samples to determine the probable causes of the seam weld failures.
