Geocomposites Drains
Overview
Geocomposite Drains create easy-to-install replacements for conventional granular layers. For over 50 years they have established an impressive track record in building and construction projects worldwide, standing the test of time with high-quality performance.
The filter/net/filter composites are used for general area drainage and are easy-to-install, factory-assured replacements for stone installations. The filter/net/membrane composites are used to drain from one side only and provide a barrier to the other – a cut-off drain. Both types can be deployed vertically or horizontally.
The textile provides the filter function, allowing liquids and gases to pass into the net core while preventing soil particles from washing into and clogging the core. The net collects the liquids and gases which can then be conveyed to collection points. Membranes are used to provide the barrier function and prevent the passage of liquids and the majority of gases.
Features, Benefits & Design
Benefits of using Geocomposite Drains:
• Easy to handle, lightweight
• Shipping benefit, lower installation and material costs
• Cost-effective alternative to traditional materials
• Easy, quick installation
• High-volume flow paths for liquids and gases
Suitable Applications
- Highways: vertical drains that intercept lateral ground water flow. Modern fin drains reduce backfill quantities, installation time and excavation. Increased slope stability from in-slope drainage.
- Bridge abutments and retaining walls: avoid backfill saturation, reduce pore water pressure
- Engineered landfills: meet requirements of high compressive strength and long-term chemical resistance.
- Tunnels: ground-water-seepage interception between rock face and the tunnel lining.
- Buried structures: horizontal and vertical drains for culverts, basements, underground parking ramps, reservoirs, and more.
