Multi-linear drainage geocomposites
Drainage geocomposite with drainage conduits regularly spaced between two geotextiles instead of a geonet core
Drainage conduits:- Perforated PP mini-pipes,- Strip drains- Etc.

“it is important to note that the needle punched nonwoven geotextile performed the best whenplaced over the tubular drainage composite. It is well designed with respect to the concretesand’s gradation to avoid piping and is open enough to resist long term clogging. This isdemonstrated by its ability to remain free flowing with leachate as a permeant for over threeyears of testing.”

“Because tubular drainage geocomposites require smaller reduction factor values,especially when anti-biological geotextile components are used, and because theoverall transmissivity of tubular drainage geocomposites does not decrease withnormal load, tubular drainage geocomposites are a valid alternative to geonetdrainage composites in landfill leachate collection systems.“
