What advantages become evident when comparing this material to geosynthetic composite barriers?
1. Liner strength is such that it does not need a protective cover to protect from puncture and can withstand heavy equipment loading. The advantage of the ability to operate heavy equipment on this surface is that if a cell needs to be cleaned out for any reason, it can be accomplished without risk to the integrity of the liner. 2. Significantly larger number of potential manufactures and installers. (300 to 400) vs. (10 to 20) 3. If leak detection system is installed, it can be constructed to isolate leakage area. 4. Can be installed in more varied weather conditions. (Not affected by fog, light rain or wind conditions.) 5. On site storage not necessary. 6. Because it is not susceptible to UV damage, it can be left uncovered. This permits a greater variety of site uses and facilitates observation and easy repair of any damage that may occur. 7.
