After
performing electrical liner integrity and leak location surveys
for over 17 years I-CORP's emphasis is now on teaching the
technology to others (with TRI/T-CLIC),
locating troublesome leaks (as opposed to final CQA surveys),
and performing more unusual surveys (above). In addition
to conventional applied potential electrical techniques,
I-CORP also uses natural potential (for GCLs), acoustic (for
batten strips), and infrared spectroscopy (landfill gas monitoring)
techniques.

Next Generation Liner Integrity Surveys
TRI/Environmental and I-CORP INTERNATIONAL’s joint venture, the TRI-CORP Liner Integrity Center (T-CLIC), has developed the next phase in geomembrane liner construction quality assurance (CQA) and leak location technology. This third-generation, “smart” equipment utilizes easily readable, real-time technology for identifying leaks in, or verifying the undamaged integrity of, installed geomembranes.
