wait for the work platform to dry out
because the equipment is all low pressure. Also, once the geomembrane layer
is down, there is no additional soil work,
unlike with the traditional method.
Finally, the weather challenges of managing a borrow pit are also eliminated.
Essentially, the project team discovered that with the TG-FCS option, if it
started raining, work would need to stop;
but once it stopped raining, work could
commence again without waiting for the
site and respective borrow pits to dry out,
as is typically the case.
Life-cycle cost
In assessing the life-cycle cost of the
TG-FCS versus the more traditional
approach, the project team broke the
comparison down into construction and
maintenance categories.
With reasonably conservative assumptions around both methods, it was determined the TG-FCS method would be
highly competitive with the traditional
method, without factoring in the community dynamics or weather-related
limitations that pertained only to the
traditional solution.
Maintenance costs were simpler to
evaluate. Once the TG-FCS was completed, the maintenance burden would
be almost nonexistent. The system
eliminated maintenance costs associated with traditional vegetative covers, including vegetative establishment,
