Drainage Geocomposites
Drainage composites play a pivotal role in diverse applications, spanning civil engineering, planar installations, roofing, and landfill projects. These composites, formed by combining a drainage core layer (such as a mat, net, or moulded element) with one or two layers of geotextiles or geomembranes during production, serve functions like filtering, separation, and, in some cases, additional features such as protection.
The primary and key function of drainage composites is drainage, therefore it’s mandatory to determine the variation of such performance in time as a result of the surrounding conditions.
Among the key factors, considerations about compressive creep reduction, flow rate variations, and filter efficiency are critical to ensure the sustained effectiveness of these composites.
