The first double geomembrane liner 40 years later - Part 1
The first double liner with two geomembranes was constructed in June 1974 and has been in continuous service since then. The double-lined structure is a water reservoir located in Pont-de-Claix, near Grenoble in southeastern France. The geotechnical study showed that strict leakage control was necessary to avoid a risk of slope instability. A double liner was designed and constructed - a new concept at the time. This article is intended to contribute to the history of the geosynthetics discipline by presenting the development of a concept - the double liner - that is an essential feature of a number of structures containing liquids and waste and describing the construction and performance of this landmark reservoir, the first structure constructed using a double liner with two geomembranes. This article will also serve as a reference document for tests performed in the future when the geomembrane is removed.
