During the 7th Australian Landfill and Transfer Stations Conference, a one-day CQA workshop will be held with a focus on construction quality assurance (CQA) for geosynthetic liners. These barrier systems are vital to the long-term performance and environmental security of waste management installations. The CQA conducted on site ensures that these systems go into operation in ideal condition to best achieve the project cost and environmental goals.
The conference will be held 28 – 31 March 2017 in Sydney. The CQA workshop will be held on March 28.
Global Synthetics—which is also a Platinum Sponsor for the conference—and NAUE Geosynthetics have sponsored the education.

In its promotional copy for the CQA workshop, the conference organizers write: “This Australian first event offers a unique opportunity to the waste industry to share their concerns and ideas about QC & QA, and hear from the international and local experts on the requirements for a successful cost effective geosynthetics CQA plan.”
