8、his folding takesa wider panel of material and makes it into a narrow stack.Forexample a 30 m by 30 m prefabricated panel could beaccordion-folded into a 3 m wide stack of material 10 layersdeep and 30 m long.3.1.3 double accordion-folded panel,nrefers to anaccordion-folded fabricated panel that is
9、accordion-folded tothe desired width and then accordion-folded in the lengthdirection onto a pallet(or into a container).Double accordion-folded panels typically appear as a“cube”of material withsquare corners.3.1.4 fabricated panel,nrefers to a geomembrane panelseamed at a fabrication facility into
10、 a larger panel than theoriginal roll stock material.A fabricated panel may be a largerrectangular panel of geomembrane or may be a specificfabricated shape or may contain special job-specific detailwork.3.1.5 rolled panel,nrefers to a fabricated panel that isrolled from one end or in some cases fro

12、aged.It must be handled andstored in such a way that its physical property values are notdegraded.Failure to follow good practice may result in theunnecessary failure of the fabricated panel in a properlydesigned application.4.2 This guide is not intended to replace project-specificstorage,handling,
