Geocomposite

Similar to geonet, geocomposites provide a controlled/ engineered drainage median for applications requiring water or gas mitigation. The double-sided geocomposite is composed of a geonet core with nonwoven geotextile laminated on both sides. This allows for filtration to occur on both sides of the material, increase the friction angle on sloped applications, and even provide a safe walking surface during installation.  

​

The design engineer should prioritize the filtration properties of the geotextile when specifying a geocomposite. The 3 most important design parameters are: filtration, compressive strength, and hydraulic transmissivity.

• Saves money, time, and reduces carbon footprint by replacing a foot of gravel.

• Filtration of fines top and bottom.  

• Transfer loads with consistent or higher friction angles. 

• Provide a safer walking surface during installation. 

• Help with subgrade imperfections by providing reinforcement and protection. 

• Drainage, separation, filtration, and reinforcement for roadways, landfills, railway, embankments, and structural foundations.  

• Leak detection for liner system, and protection against sub-standard subgrade. 

• Gas venting for ponds and landfill systems.
