Finishing Operations

Finishing operations are the processes that are applied to the workpiece at the end of a manufacturing process, and after completing all other relevant operations that bring the product to its required dimensions. Finishing operations involve polishing, reducing the surface roughness, eliminating wrinkling, and grinding to enhance the surface texture and provide a better surface finish to the workpiece surface.

A rock storage pile is being designed for a mine in West Virginia. The pile is linedwith reinforced GCL overlain by a 1.5 mm thick HDPE geomembrane. A heavy nonwoven geotextile is placed on top of the geomembrane. Because the rock is porous(K = 10-2cm/s), it is used as the main LCS stone and no additional leachate collectionstone is being installed. Specify the base slope required to keep the head below 25cm if the design storm is 0.8 cm rain/day and the pipe-to-pipe lateral spacing is 60 mIs this rock a reasonable material to replace the LCS stone?
