Geocomposite

[3] These drainage geocomposites also make effective drains to intercept water in a capillary zone where frost heave or salt migration is a problem.

Such multi-linear drainage composites are not susceptible to creep in compression or geotextile intrusion when confined in the soil, which means that they maintain their flow capacity over time, even under heavy loads.

In such cases the geotextile component acts as a drainage medium, since it can conduct water, leachate or gases away from direct contact with the geomembrane.

Such composite barriers are particularly advantageous in projects requiring robust containment solutions, such as landfill liners, mining operations, and water management systems.

The combination of geomembranes and geogrids ensures long-term reliability and efficiency, making them a preferred choice in modern geotechnical and environmental engineering.
