Drainage Geonet Composite

Drainage Geonet Composite  is an extruded high-density polyethylene drainage core with a non-woven filter fabric bonded to the ridges of the geonet. The filter fabric retains soil or sand particles as well as freshly placed concrete or grout, allowing filtered water to pass into the form to irregular surfaces. Because of this crush-proof nature, geonet drainage composites can be used in the most extreme cases with heavy loads and/or heavy vehicular traffic, both horizontally and vertically.

It is a pressure-resistant three-dimensional polymer structure drainage product produced to create a hollow structure that allows liquid and gas discharge.

Filtration is provided by using geotextile on or under the material in order to prevent clogging of fine-grained fillers in drainage channels. Geotextile is laminated to the surface with fine- grained filling material or to the upper part where waste is found in waste areas, and with the help of geotextile, it gains filter and separation feature.

Applications

  • As drainage layer in a multi-liner system
  • Used as drain layers in landfills and ponds
  • For drainage in landfill cap applications
  • Good for gas vents under ponds
  • Drainage in dam cores
  • Leak detection layer

 

The ProNet geonet geocomposite uses quality, polypropylene (PP) nonwoven geotextiles and quality, high density polyethylene (HDPE)
resins in the manufacture of the geocomposite drain. The geotextile may be supplied in a range of weights for optimal performance and
can be laminated in either a single or double sided configuration to the geonet. The geotextiles used in the manufacture of the ProNet
Geocomposites are resistant to ultraviolet degradation, rotting,biological degradation, and naturally encountered acids and alkalis
within the range of pH 2-13. Both polypropylene and HDPE are recognised as being highly resistant to landfill leachate and other
aggressive solutions..

BENEFITS of  GEONETS GEOCOMPOSITES
  • Stable geonet and grid structure manufactured from polymers that are highly resistant to deterioration from a wide range of
    aggressive solutions.
  • High quality nonwoven geotextile available in a range of weights and filtration characteristics that is factory bonded to the geonet
    structure.
  • Polypropylene non woven geotextile proven to be highly durableto  a wide range of leachate types.Ability to custom manufacture drainage product to specific client’s requirements.
  • Wide width rolls to minimise installation costs.
  • One composite product that minimises installation time in the field. When required, the geonet can be laminated to a geotextile
    saving labour time and resources in the field. Lamination can be carried out to one or both geonet faces dependant upon the
    application of use.
  • Unique biplanar drainage structure for flow in all directions. Flow is unrestricted unlike other profiles.
  • High flow capacity under very high loads.
  • Economical alternative to traditional granular drainage layers

Application:

  • LANDFILL DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
  • LANDFILL LEAK DETECTION SYSTEMS
  • MEMBRANE PROTECTION
  • LANDFILL CAP DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
  • LEACHATE COLLECTION & REMOVAL
  • GAS VENTING SYSTEMS
