IPP receives accreditation for geosynthetic lab in India

The GAI-LAP was initiated to accredit the operations of testing laboratories within the geosynthetic community. The programme intends to ensure that a specific laboratory is capable of properly executing the tests that they contract to perform.

InterWrap is now the first company in India to have an accredited manufacturing facility. Throughout the Asia Pacific region, InterWrap is now one of the six manufacturing locations to have obtained this highly regarded accreditation.

The GAI-LAP was developed to provide a two-fold effect on geosynthetic testing. First, it is designed to give credibility to those laboratories that are properly equipped and prepared to carry out the respective tests. It also requires laboratories to prepare a quality manual, write test specific standard operating procedures and prepare test reports for each test method on an ongoing basis.

IPP plant is now fully equipped to manufacture landfill covers, geosynthetic membranes for water retention, containment, pond and canal lining, heavy duty liners for environmental protection, oil and gas pad liners and many other applications. (NA)
