4 BEFORE YOU START... HELPFUL TOOL TIPS Familiarize yourself and your crew with the installation methods described in this manual. These are the installation methods recommended by the manufacturer (C.I.Agent Solutions ). The final decision on installation methods is the choice of the project engineer. HOWEVER, deviation from the recommended methods may void the warranty and insurance policy of these solutions. If you have questions about acceptable methods, contact the project engineer, contractor or manufacturer, prior to installation. PRODUCT STORAGE The C.I.Agent Geomembrane Liner and Oil Filtration Panel System should be stored in a covered area prior to use. Keep the product on its shipping skid. Remove the adhesive and store at temperatures above freezing (32 degrees F). Moisture can compromise the integrity of the supplies. When choosing an installation date, take into consideration the temperatures at which the companion products work their best, i.e., vinyl adhesive, vinyl cleaner, etc. Installation should be performed in weather that is above 32 F (0 C) and below 100 F (38 C). SITE PREPARATION Excavation The excavation must be completed prior to the arrival of the installation crew. The containment area needs to be over-excavated a minimum of 24 on all sides to accommodate for freeboard outside the geomembrane containment unit on all sides. This will provide the necessary amount of gravity for adequate drainage and allow for proper backfill of clean, washed stone. The depth of the excavated area needs to be a minimum of 6 deeper than the floor of the containment unit. This additional depth will be filled with washed pea gravel to function as a leach field, assisting in the displacement of water. The pea gravel floor should be sloped from the center to the outside walls to promote the flow of water out of the containment area. HELPFUL TOOL TIPS ASSEMBLY OF CONTAINMENT UNIT Layout of Containment System Each containment unit is unique and custom built for the site. The system will arrive in pre-fabricated panels; the corner panels will also be prefabricated at the factory. Each panel will be marked and must be laid out according to the site plan. All panels should be properly laid and adjusted prior to beginning assembly. The panels need to be properly aligned so that there is a minimum of a 2 overlap at each seam. Panels are generally pre-cut with extra vinyl and may have more than 2 overlap when properly aligned extra material can be trimmed on site and kept for patching corners (page 13) and making field boots (page 15). Pre-marking the floor of the site with marking paint at the corners at the distances prescribed on the site plan drawing will assist in the placement of the panels. 4

5 BEFORE YOU START... HELPFUL TOOL TIPS Sealing the Seams Seams can be sealed using an adhesive (HH-66) or with a heat gun. Both methods require a minimum of a 2 overlap and the vinyl must be dry and clean, free from dust and dirt. Aerosol cleaner is provided for proper seam preparation. Thoroughly clean and dry both edges of the vinyl to be joined, prior to beginning seaming. Trimming excess vinyl at the seams will make seaming easier and pre-marking the seam overlap with a line will keep the seam straight and uniform and avoid wrinkles. Adhesive Seam Sealing Properly sealing the seams requires two people. Pre-mark the edges of the vinyl to maintain a 2 overlapped seam. Clean both edges of the overlapping seams with the provided vinyl cleaner to remove any dirt or dust that is present. Once the two edges have been cleaned, place the rolling plank beneath the two seams to be sealed and properly align them along the pre-marked edge. The HH-66 adhesive should be applied according to manufacturer s directions. A thin layer of adhesive must be applied to each contact side of the vinyl that is to be joined. Allow it to dry until it is tacky to the touch (not completely dry). Place the two edges together following the pre-marked guide line, being careful to avoid wrinkles. Use a seam roller to compress the seam along the wooden plank ( 3 x 1 x 1 ). Heat Gun Seam Sealing Properly sealing the seams requires two people. Seams that are sealed with a heat gun should be prepared in the same manner as an adhesive seal. Pre-mark the edges of the vinyl to maintain a 2 overlapped seam. Both edges must be dry, clean, and free from dust and dirt. Once the two edges have been cleaned, place the rolling plank beneath the two seams to be sealed and properly align them along the pre-marked edge. Pre-heat the gun according to manufacturer s recommendations to a temperature that allows for proper sealing (ambient temperature may require adjustment in temperature setting). Lift the leading edge on the top edge of the vinyl exposing the under side. Direct the heat in a manner that both upper and lower vinyl edges are heated. The two pieces of vinyl will look wet (gloss-like in appearance) when they are ready to be sealed. Press the two pieces together maintaining the 2 overlap and roll seam on the plank with the seam rolling tool, being careful to avoid wrinkles. Continue the process along the entire seam. Attaching the Geomembrane to Concrete Pads/Piers Aluminum Flat Bar Sealing The most effective method for protecting pads/piers and preventing leaks is attaching the liner to the concrete with aluminum flat bars. Using the site drawings as a guide, mark the pad/pier at the desired height where the liner will attach with a black permanent marker. Snap a chalk line endto-end to create a straight line. Attach the doublefaced asphaltic tape to the pad, using the chalk line as a guide. Remove the protective paper from the asphaltic tape and lift the geomembrane liner into place pressing it against the tape. Secure the liner with the flat bar with concrete drive anchors to a point that will allow the vertical seams to be sealed. 5 HELPFUL TOOL TIPS Some prefer to attach the geomembrane liner to the concrete pads/piers PRIOR to sealing the floor seams, subsequently sealing outward from the walls. Both installation processes are acceptable and subject to the preferences of the site supervisor or lead contractor.

6 BEFORE YOU START... HELPFUL TOOL TIPS Place a length of 4 or 6 PVC conduit that has been ripped lengthwise on top of the stakes to prevent the stone from beating down the outside wall as it is being back filled. This will also allow the stone to be placed inside and outside at the same time. Staking the Outside Walls After all the seams, pads/piers, conduits, ground cables, and drain pipes have been sealed and/or booted, it is time to stake up the outside walls. Using (2 nominal) wooden stakes is the simplest method. Begin in the corners and place a wooden stake every 2 to 4 to support the vertical position of the wall. Raise the outside wall and attach to the wooden stake with deck screws 1/2 from the top of the wall. The stakes can be left in place or removed after the containment has been back filled with clean, washed stone, to the grade depicted in the site drawings. Placement of Geotextile Fabric on Floor of Containment Area for Below-Grade Installations Containment sumps of less than 30 depth shall have a layer of 12 oz. geotextile fabric placed beneath the geomembrane liner on the pea stone and on top of the floor liner. Containment sumps of a depth greater than 30 shall have a single layer of geotextile on top of the floor/liner, before backfilling with stone. Back Filling with Stone Access to the oil containment unit may be limited due to surrounding structures. Begin placing the clean, washed stone (gravel or round) in the unit in a manner that limits the impact of the stone on the floor on the containment unit. We require clean, washed stone of average size from 3/4 to 11/2 free of dirt or fines. When backfilling the area along the outside walls, maintain an equal level of stone on both sides to prevent the stone from affecting the position and alignment of the wall, and to prevent the liner from being pulled off the stake. Continue to backfill with stone until the desired grade level is attained. HELPFUL TOOL TIPS THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEAN, WASHED STONE The importance of using the correct stone cannot be understated. Stone must be CLEANED, WASHED, and free of dirt and fines. Dirty stone WILL compromise the flow rate of the Oil Filtration Panels. Stone with a lot of fines WILL reduce the percentage of void space and compromise the containment capacity. 6

Check to make sure all materials on the packing list are present.

8 INSTALLATION...Layout LAYOUT OF CONTAINMENT SYSTEM: Excavation of the site must be completed prior to laying the Geomembrane Liner. Review requirements for site preparation on page 4. Step 1: Using the site plan drawings, measure and mark the floor of the containment site with marking paint to get the proper orientation of the panels and transformer pad. Step 1a: Place layer of geotextile beneath liner when containment depth is 30 or less (see page 6). Step 2: Align panels according to the site drawing, ensuring there is a minimum of a 2 overlap at every seam. Panels are generally pre-cut with extra vinyl and may have more than a 2 overlap when properly aligned extra material should be trimmed on site to aide in sealing. Keep trimmed vinyl pieces for corner patches (page 13) and/or field boots (page 15) when necessary. Step 3: Prior to seaming, pre-mark edges of panels with a a silver/white permanent marker to ensure proper alignment and overlap. 8

9 INSTALLATION...Layout, Existing Piers EXISTING PIERS In some cases, there are existing round or square concrete support piers inside the containment area (as pictured). Piers are always to be booted in the field. Manufacturer s recommendations for installing liners around these piers are listed below. EXISTING PIERS, NEW CONSTRUCTION With a newly constructed site with no steel in place, align the panels carefully and measure for the pier, then cut the floor panel and slide the panel over the top of the pier. Boot the pier using the seam process as described for conduits on page 15. HELPFUL TOOL TIPS Some like to outline the pier on the panel and then cut about an inch inside the lines. If done correctly, this creates a slight flap that rides up the wall, helping to ensure a better seal at the floor when the boot with floor flaps is added. EXISTING PIERS, RETROFIT In the case of retrofitting an existing site, in which steel supports are already in place, the method described above may not be applicable. Instead, measure and mark where to cut around the piers. Figure out which side has the shortest distance to an end of the panel, and cut that line so the cutout lays around the pier and then comes back together on the side cut through to the end. Wrap reef tape around the pier at the desired height in order to attach the vinyl to it. Patch the cut in the floor and boot the pier (as described in more detail on page 15). Metal aluminum bars should be bent and attached to secure the liner to a round pier. 9

10 INSTALLATION...Sealing Seams SEALING THE SEAMS: Adhesive Seam Sealing Step 1: Place the seaming plank ( 3 x 1 x 1 ) beneath the two panel edges to be sealed. Step 2: Thoroughly clean both edges/sides of the vinyl to be seamed with contact cleaner. Dry with a clean shop towel. Step 3: Align the panel edges along the pre-marked line and apply adhesive (HH-66) according to manufacturer s guidelines. Using a 2 paint brush, apply a thin layer of adhesive to each of the sides that are to be joined and allow them to dry until tacky to the touch. Step 4: Place the two edges together following the pre-marked guideline, being careful to avoid wrinkles. Use the seam roller to compress the seam against the seaming plank. Step 5: Continue this process moving the seaming plank along the seam until the entire length of the seam has been sealed. 10

11 INSTALLATION...Sealing Seams Heat Gun Sealing Step 1: Place seaming plank ( 3 x 1 x 1 ) beneath the two panel edges to be sealed. Step 2: Thoroughly clean both edges/sides of the vinyl to be seamed with contact cleaner. Dry with a clean shop towel. Step 3: Align the panel edges along the pre-marked line. Step 4: Pre-heat sealing gun according to manufacturer s recommendations. Step 5: Lift the leading edge on the top panel exposing the underside. Direct the heat in a manner that both upper and lower vinyl edges of the panels are heated until the vinyl appears to be wet (gloss-like appearance). Step 6: Press the two pieces together maintaining the 2 overlap following the pre-marked guideline, being careful to avoid wrinkles. While hot, use the seam roller to compress the seam against the seaming plank. HELPFUL TOOL TIPS Heat gun sealing may also be used to make a field boot to seal conduits and pipes. Simply use the heat sealing technique instead of H66 adhesive, reef tape and/or Flex Seal. See page 15 for instructions on how to construct a field boot. Step 7: Continue this process moving the seaming plank along the seam until the entire length of the seam has been sealed. 11

12 INSTALLATION...Attaching Liner to Pads/Piers HELPFUL TOOL TIPS GET RID OF CONCRETE DUST & MOISTURE Two things can hinder the asphaltic tape from adhering to pads/ piers: moisture and concrete dust. If the pad/pier has residual moisture on it, make sure it is dried (propane torches work great). Secondly, take a wire brush and clean off any concrete dust where the asphaltic tape will attach. Simply wipe off the dust after using the wire brush prior to sealing. SEALING LINER TO CONCRETE PADS/PIERS: Aluminum Flat Bar Sealing Step 1: Mark the pad with a black permanent marker at the desired height according to the site drawings. Snap a chalk line at that desired height to create a guideline for the asphaltic tape. Step 2: Attach the asphaltic tape to the side of the pad leaving protective paper on the outside surface. Use a seaming roller to firmly press the asphaltic tape to the pad/pier to promote better adhesion. Step 3: Remove the protective paper from the asphaltic tape and position the geomembrane liner into place by pressing it firmly against the tape. If the liner has dirt, dust, or moisture on it, simply clean where it will lay against the asphaltic tape with vinyl cleaner and a shop towel, prior to attaching to the tape. Step 4: Using a silver permanent marker, mark a line on the liner to indicate where the asphaltic tape and liner are conjoined, making sure the line is straight with the asphaltic tape for proper aluminum flat bar alignment. Step 5: Align flat bar against the marked silver line so that the bar is directly on top of the asphaltic tape below the attached liner. Using a ¼ masonry bit, drill into the pad/pier at the pre-drilled holes of the flat bar, 1 to 11/2 deep. Drive concrete anchors into the drilled hole with a hammer. 12

13 INSTALLATION...Attaching Liner to Pads/Piers Step 6: After securing the flat bar, trim off any excess geomembrane material above the bar. Using a caulk gun, run a liberal bead of DAP Concrete Sealant to the top of the bar. Simply run your finger along the bead of caulk to seal the concrete and liner. HELPFUL TOOL TIPS A hook blade works well for trimming the excess material. Step 7: Inspect the geomembrane liner for openings at edges. Use excess liner and the adhesive product to seal any openings. Run the seam roller over the patches to form an air-tight seal. Step 8: Corners will have gaps that need patched. There are two acceptable ways of patching corners: a single patch, or overlapping patches. Method 1: Single Patch Using a silver permanent marker, draw a 90 degree angle on a scrap piece of vinyl that is approximately 8 x 12. Cut the two lines to about 1 from the connecting point. Using the H66 adhesive, glue the patch to the corner to cover the open gap. Be sure to clean all vinyl prior to gluing it in place. 13

14 INSTALLATION...Attaching Liner to Pads/Piers Method 2: Overlapping Patches After assessing the size of the gap, cut a heartshaped patch that will cover it. Dry fit it to the wall to ensure it is sized properly and will lay properly on the corner; trim as needed. Clean the area and patch, then glue the patch in place with the point of the heart pointing to the floor. With a second piece of vinyl, cut another patch to cover any remaining gaps and part of the heart-shaped patch to overlap and seal the corner. Double check to ensure all gaps are covered and patches are sealed tight with no wrinkles. Step 9: Once corners are sealed and adhesive has dried, spray Flex Seal over the edges of the patch to provide redundant protection. On overlapped patches, this will cover any small gaps between the patches, but large gaps need to be re-glued or re-patched. HELPFUL TOOL TIPS: USES FOR BENTONITE BENTONITE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A METHOD TO SEAL THE LINER TO PADS/PIERS! Bentonite can be used to cover up rough or minor jagged edges at the base of concrete pads and piers. This helps reduce the risk of tearing or puncturing the vinyl while attaching to the pad/ pier or during backfilling. Major jagged edges or sharp points of concrete MUST be chiseled or smoothed out with a hammer as much as possible prior to installing the liner. Bentonite can then be supplemented to cover the rough base of the pad/pier to give better protection for the vinyl. Bentonite can also be used to fill up void spaces that may occur around corners of the pad or piers. Ideally, there are no big gaps at the corners between the vinyl, but it does occur from time to time. In this case, it s recommended to take handfuls of Bentonite and fill up those voids spaces below the liner at the corners to allow for easier patching and to prevent liner damage during backfill near the wall(s) of the pad/pier. 14

15 INSTALLATION...Sealing Conduits & Cables SEALING CONDUITS & CABLES WITH FIELD BOOT The sealing of conduits and cables in the field are site-specific and can be accomplished through a number of methods. Generally, the best solution is to boot and seal with reef tape, H66 adhesive and Flex Seal (as described below). For smaller confined spaces, use reef tape, expandable spray foam, H66 adhesive and Flex Seal. Step 1: The Boot: Measure the circumference of the conduit by wrapping the vinyl around the conduit leaving a 2 overlap. You can also use a tape measure wrapped around the conduit for finding the circumference or measure the diameter of the conduit and multiply that number by 3.14 (π). Remember to add 2 overlap. Outline the circumference of the conduit with asphaltic tape where the boot will attach to it. Step 2: Measure and mark a relief point line 1 to 2 up from bottom of the boot with a silver permanent marker or pen. Measure relief flaps approximately 1 to 2 wide. Cut the relief flaps up to the relief point line. Step 3: Clean the overlap and the area on the boot where overlap will be glued. Wrap the boot around the conduit. Seal the boot seam with vinyl adhesive or reef tape keeping it loose enough to turn on the conduit. Push the boot down to the bottom of the conduit. Ensure the boot rests at the bottom of the conduit with the relief flaps flat against the floor facing out. Step 4: The Foot: If the cables are not coming through the top of the conduit, lay a piece of vinyl, larger than the diameter of the conduit, on top of the conduit. Using the silver Sharpie Marker or pen, trace the circumference of the conduit. If the conduit already has cables coming out of it, take an oversized piece of vinyl and make a cut to the center of the vinyl. Measure and mark the area needed to be cut out of the vinyl to make it lay flat around the cables. Hold the vinyl in place and then trace the circumference of the conduit. Cut along the circumference line, removing any excess vinyl. Your foot should look like photo on the left. 15

16 INSTALLATION...Sealing Conduits & Cables Step 5: Check for fit. Place the foot around the boot on the conduit. If the foot puckers, remove a little more vinyl from the circumference hole and re-fit. Step 6: Use vinyl cleaner to clean the top of the release flaps. When dry, apply vinyl adhesive. Step 7: Use vinyl cleaner to clean the inside edge of the hole in the foot. When dry, place the foot around the boot and lower onto the release flaps. Add pressure to ensure complete contact and sealing. Take a small strip of vinyl and use the vinyl adhesive to patch the cut made in the vinyl foot. Step 8: Attach and seal the boot to the liner. To seal, wrap with tape. To provide redundant protection, also spray boot area with Flex Seal. Step 9: Use tape to attach and seal boot to a single conduit. For multiple conduits, use expandable foam. (You may want to add tape after applying the foam.) Cables can be sealed to liner with tape and Flex Seal. HELPFUL TOOL TIPS The liner can also be glued directly to the pipe at end of the boot. Finish by wrapping a straight piece of liner tightly around conduits and overlap the boot. Glue directly to the boot and pipe. 16

17 INSTALLATION...Staking Outside Walls STAKING THE OUTSIDE OIL FILTRATION PANEL WALLS Step 1: Beginning at the pre-fabricated corners, place wood stakes approximately every 2 to 4 feet along the outside containment wall. Step 2: Lift the outside wall (gray) into a vertical position and attach it to the wood stake with ¾ deck screws or staples. Staple or screw ½ from the top of the Oil Filtration Panels to prevent damage to the Panel. INSTALLATION...Back Filling with Stone HELPFUL TOOL TIPS Stone must be CLEANED, WASHED and free of dirt and fines. Dirty stone WILL compromise the flow rate of the Oil Filtration Panels. Stone with a lot of fines WILL reduce the percentage of void space and compromise the containment capacity. BACK FILLING CONTAINMENT UNIT WITH STONE Step 1: Cover the floor of the containment with geotextile fabric, cutting to fit along the perimeter walls and around pads/piers. This acts as a protective barrier for the liner during backfilling procedures. Step 2: Starting at corners, begin placing clean, washed stone, average size 3/4 to 11/2, into the containment area in a manner that maintains equal amounts of stone on both the inside and outside of the vertical containment wall. Try to prevent the stone from affecting the position and alignment of the containment wall. A ripped length of PVC conduit can be used to keep the wall from being crushed. Step 3: Continue placing stone around the perimeter to the designated height according to the site drawings. Then begin filling from the perimeter toward the center. Step 4: Finish placing clean, washed stone, until the stone has filled the site back to its desired grade. 17
