Geocomposite
Description
A geocomposite is a multi-layered geosynthetic material created by bonding several components, such as geotextile and geogrid. These materials complement each other, combining properties of filtration, separation, drainage, and reinforcement. Geocomposites create drainage systems, protect waterproofing layers, stabilize slopes, and prevent erosion.
Properties and Benefits
High Water Permeability
Equivalent to a 10-15 cm layer of gravel.
Durability
Retains its properties under chemical exposure, mechanical loads, and moisture.
Cost Efficiency
Reduces earthwork volume by replacing traditional materials.
Easy Installation
Quickly laid, secured, and backfilled with soil.
Longevity
Resistant to decay and corrosion.
Applications
Drainage Systems
- Drainage for houses, foundations, plots, and roads.
- Creation of water diversion and regulation systems.
Waterproofing
- Protection of foundations, basements, and blind areas.
Reinforcement and Stabilization
- Reinforcement of slopes, weak soils, and ravines.
- Shoreline stabilization to prevent erosion.
