Separation, protection, and drainage

Geotextiles, geonets, and geocomposites

Materials for separation, filtration, reinforcement, drainage, and mechanical protection in containment and infrastructure systems.

Protected geosynthetic rolls prepared for supply

Hydraulic and mechanical functions determine material configuration

Functional layers that protect and stabilize the system

Geotextiles, geonets, and geocomposites perform different functions within a geosynthetic solution: separating materials, filtering, protecting a barrier, reinforcing a structure, or conveying liquids and gases.

Selection must relate the required function to the contacting soil, loads, expected flow, and construction sequence. An appropriate specification avoids treating products designed for different conditions as equivalent.

Review each data sheet for properties, formats, and application criteria. Availability and configuration are confirmed for each project.

Common applications

  • Geomembrane protection
  • Liquid and gas drainage
  • Separation of soils and granular layers
  • Road, hydraulic, and sanitation works

Selection criteria

Mass per unit area is not enough to define a geotextile, and thickness alone does not define drainage. Hydraulic properties, mechanical strength, flow capacity, and compatibility between system layers must be reviewed.

Share drawings, specifications, estimated quantities, and site conditions so the applicable alternative can be reviewed before quoting.

Project integration

Material function must be maintained during installation

Ground preparation, overlaps, and equipment traffic can alter expected performance if they are not coordinated from the start. The procedure must prevent contamination, displacement, folds, and damage before subsequent layers are placed.

Drainage solutions also require review of core continuity, outlets, connections, and confinement pressure. For protection and filtration, soil contact and gradation determine the required opening size and strength.

Questions before specifying

Initial answers to organize the available information. The final definition must consider the particular conditions of each project.

Does mass per unit area alone define a geotextile?
No. It is a reference value, but selection must consider strength, puncture resistance, apparent opening size, permeability, and function within the system.
What is the difference between a geonet and a geocomposite?
A geonet functions as a drainage core. A geocomposite combines that core with geotextiles or other layers to provide filtration, protection, or a specific configuration.
What information is needed to select drainage?
Expected flow, slope, confinement pressure, flow length, contact type, and the intended arrangement for collecting and removing liquids or gases.
