D35 Begins Guide on Electrical Detection of Leak Paths in Geomembranes

ASTM International Committee D35 on Geosynthetics has announced a new work item: WK34962, “New Guide for Limitations with the different Techniques for Electrical Detection of Potential Leaks Paths in Geomembranes.” In the scope statement, the committee notes, “This standard guide is intended to assist and educate individuals or groups in assessing the limitations of the different options available for locating potential leaks paths in installed geomembranes through the use of electrical methods. Guide is needed since there is a lot of misunderstanding in the industry what the electrical leak location surveys can provide.”
