Abstract |
Data from 27 lined facilities provided by five vendors was analyzed to determine the factors which contributed to success or failure of the liner at those facilities. The sites studied included a wide variety of wastes handled, liner types, geographic locations, facility ages, facility sizes, etc. Based on the definitions used in the study, the 27 facilities selected by the vendors had a total of 12 'failures' at 10 sites. At four or five of these sites groundwater contamination apparently resulted from the failures. Two main elements of success at lined sites are considered to be: (1) a proper philosophical and conceptual approach; and (2) the extensive use of quality assurance programs in all facets and stages of a facility's operation. Other contributing factors include overdesign of system, presence of a knowledgeable customer, bidding to specifications, selection of qualified companies, cooperation amongst companies on liner job, conducting waste-liner compatibility tests, simplicity of design, and good weather. |
