as well as the important lessons learned.
Top FGI Headlines for Winter 2024:
- FGI at GeoAmericas 2024 Conference
- FGI Offering Short Course on Subgrade Prep & Use of GCLs with Flexible Geomembranes Internationally
- FGI Hydropower Research Project
- FGI 1120 Now Available in Portuguese
- Upcoming FGI Webinars
Join us for an online short course that will focus on subgrade preparation for installation of flexible geomembranes. In addition, the course will focus on the use of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) with flexible geomembranes to create a composite barrier system. This course will describe the requirements for subgrade preparation before a flexible geomembrane is installed, such as maximum rock size allowed, presence of water, and smooth rolling the surface before geomembrane installation. This course will also present information on the hydraulic performance, chemical resistance, shear strength, and installation of GCLs with flexible geomembranes.
