REMINDER: TRI Environmental‘s renowned classes on geosynthetics QA / QC in containment installations and with compacted clay liners and geosynthetic clay liners will be offered for the first time in an online format June 1 – 4. The live, half-day sessions will be taught by the teaching team that annually leads the in-person version of the class: Mark Sieracke, P.E.; Dr. Jeffrey Kuhn, P.E.; and Sam Allen.
The classes can be used as preparation for the Geosynthetic Certification Institute Inspectors Certification Program (GCI-ICP) exam, which will be offered online on June 5.
The schedule:
- June 1 – 2: Construction QA/QC for Geosynthetic Installations
- June 3 – 4: Construction QA/QC for Compacted Clay Liner and GCL Installation
These courses can be taken individually or as a package. The half-day sessions run from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm (CDT) each day.
COURSE #1 – GEOSYNTHETIC INSTALLATION
The opening geosynthetica QA course is “Construction QA/QC for Geosynthetic Installations.” It focuses on installation of geomembranes, geotextiles, geocomposites, geogrids, and geo-appurtenances. The class includes discussion of geomembrane seaming and seam peel and shear testing.
