Hi,

I'm currently working on the construction of a dam where we have to place a bituminous geomembrane on top of its upstream face. The Teranap 331 TP has been chosen for this purpose.
I would like to know what is the maximum UV exposition time, knowing that the temperature may reach 50 during the day on site (summer temperature).
According to the preliminary planning, the installed geomembrane might be exposed 3 to 4 years before being covered by water and tailings.
Any thoughts and experience to share ?
Thank you a lot
