Manufacturer's perspective on liners

Abstract

Presented in this paper is a brief historical perspective of the origins of polymeric liners and the growth of the industry to the present. The orientation is on the seams themselves and on the appropriate seaming method with respect to the particular liner type. Emphasis is placed on the proper seaming material and/or proper combination of temperature, pressure and dwell time to create a good seam. Focus is placed on workmanship, seaming conditions and the related aspects of construction quality control (CQC) and construction quality assurance (CQA).
