An improved method and apparatus for waterproofing soil utilizing a flexible plastic sheet for providing a water barrier provides a system for readily detecting the presence of holes in the plastic material. The sheet includes a plastic layer which may be rendered electrically conductive by embedding conductive particles within it. The integrity of the sheet may then be monitored by establishing an electric field across the sheet and monitoring for sparks between the conductive plastic layer and a probe. Reliable and economical testing is possible, even in situations where electric leak testing was not previously feasible.

La présente invention vise une méthode améliorée d'imperméabilisation du sol au moyen d'une feuille de plastique souple empêchant le passage de l'eau, qui fait appel à un système permettant de déceler rapidement la présence de trous dans celle-ci. La feuille comporte une couche de plastique dans laquelle des particules conductrices peuvent être incorporées. Il est alors possible de vérifier l'intégrité de la feuille en faisant passer un courant électrique à travers celle-ci et en vérifiant au moyen d'une sonde s'il se produit des étincelles. Ces essais d'étanchéité sont fiables et peuvent être réalisés à peu de frais, même dans des conditions où il aurait été auparavant impossible de les mener.
