IFAI Exhibition/Korea- Approximately 80 registrants attended the GSI-Korea Seminar 2001 in Seoul on 9 October for Dr. I. D. Peggs’ presentation “Geomembrane Liners for resource and environmental protection: Ensuring Long Term Performance” Prof. H-Y Jeon also outlined the structure, development, and activities of GSI-Korea. After the seminar Peggs, Jeon, and You Kyum Kim from the FITI testing laboratory visited Deuk Wha Lee at the GECO Industrial Co., LTD plant to discuss the broad uniaxial LLDPE coated PET tie back web that will soon be modified into a very strong, high modulus patented geogrid. Discussions were also held with Duek Wha Lee, Director of Sewon Geosyntech on their dense rigid nonwoven geotextiles specially developed for the puncture protection of geomembranes. These will become the basis of three-layer “smart” geotextile composites planned for reinforcement/drainage and puncture protection/drainage.
