First, the answer to Vol. 15 (last week).
Perhaps the photo taken with flash will help – the first photo was taken just to show how dark it really was – keep in mind, cameras tend to make it look lighter than it really is! Just a little extrusion welding under the cover of darkness! At least the guy grinding is using a headlamp. We actually thought everyone was done for the day as it appeared the installation crew was at their trailer but then I noticed a small amount of light coming from the liner and headed out to investigate. And they wonder why destructs fail!
Does anyone see any other issues now?
In these blog posts, Do You See What Glen Sees, I will present a photograph or short video related to earthwork or geosynthetics construction and have you identify the significance of what you’re seeing.
It could be things being done correctly or incorrectly. Primarily, these will be things that impact quality.
In addition to my blog, I’ll post this content on X and LinkedIn. You can post your response on one of those two.
I’ll give you my thoughts on each photo or video when I post the next installment.
Do you see what I see? Or did you find something I missed? I’m excited to find out!
Here is the next installment. Take a good look. Do You See What Glen Sees?
Welcome back! For volume 16 of Do You See What Glen Sees?, we’re going to examine a bit of recompacted soil liner construction on the floor of a cell. Typical CCL specifications and completed permeability requirement of 1 x 10-7 cm/s. What Do You See!
Bonus points. If constructed perfectly to the 1 x 10-7 cm/s requirement, how long would it theoretically take for a water-like liquid to flow through a 24” CCL?
