Vertical barrier leak detection Wells, drainage layers installed Determine the amount of leakage Results of questionable reliability; along the midsection of vertical and thus the performance of vertical rarely used in practice; requires barriers walls installation of the collection and removal system in the barrier; integrity of half of the thickness of the barrier is assessed 20.
