CERTIFICATION OPPORTUNITY
The course is designed to be an ideal preparation for the Geosynthetic Certification Institute’s Inspectors Certification Program (GCI-ICP) exam.
* The GCI exam is part of the GCI CQA technician certification program. Because of this, one MUST REGISTER with the Geosynthetic Institute (GSI) and pay GSI’s required certification fee in order to take the exam. TRI does NOT collect the fee for GSI; that fee must be paid directly to GSI. The exam fee that TRI will collect is only to serve as proxy for overseeing the exam timeslot on site. Call GSI at +1 610 522 8440 for more information on the GCI-ICP program.
This course focuses on the installation of all geosynthetics and compacted clay liners used in containment systems. The first day will focus on installation of geomembranes, geotextiles, geocomposites, geogrids, and geo-appurtenances. It includes discussion of geomembrane seaming and seam peel and shear testing. The second day will focus on the installation of compacted clay and geosynthetic clay liners. Special emphasis will be given to establishing rationale and standard operating procedures for field inspections, documentation of test and visual observations, and implementation of CQA plans. A broad appreciation for the manufacture and installation of containment facility materials will be provided.
Gain comprehensive understanding of:
- Preparing CQC/CQA plans
- Reviewing CQC/CQA plans
- Performing CQC/CQA observations and tests
