D35 Approves New Standard for Leak Location

ASTM Committee D35 on Geosynthetics has announced the approval of a new standard: D7852 – Standard Practice for Use of an Electrically Conductive Geotextile for Leak Location Surveys. Developed by Committee D35.10 (Subcommittee on Geomembranes), the scope aims for the standard to be “applicable to all types of geoelectric surveys when there is otherwise not a conductive layer under the geomembrane.”
