Geomembranes are very low permeability membrane liners and barriers used with any geotechnical engineering based material so as to control fluid migrations in a man-made project, structure or system. The term liner applies when a geomembrane is used as an interface or a surface revetment. The term barrier is usually reserved for the cases where the geomembrane is used inside an earth mass. Geomembrane is a generic term which has been proposed to replace many terms such as: synthetic membranes, polymeric membranes, plastic liners, flexible membrane liners, impermeable membranes and impervious sheets. 1, record 7, English, - barrier

Whereas published standard specifications are commonplace with government and other agencies, master specifications are useful tools for design organizations that serve private clients. A master specification covers a particular item of construction, such as excavation and embankment, concrete structures, or structural steel. It contains requirements for all possible conditions and construction that can be anticipated for that particular item. Master specifications are prepared in-house... When applying a master specification to a specific project, the specifications engineer deletes those requirements that do not apply to the project. Thus, use of a master specification not only effects a reduction in the time required to produce a contract specification but serves as a check-list and minimizes errors and omissions. 1, record 9, English, - master%20specifications
