Geocomposite

The geocomposite consists of interconnected parallel flat strips and a layer of geotextile performing the separation/filtering function.

The starting material for the production of geosynthetics is polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl, polyamide, etc.

Geocomposites are mixtures of the above materials, consisting of geotextiles, geogrids, geomembranes and/or geocombs, and may be combined with other synthetic materials or soils.

Geocomposite is widely used in various construction sectors:
Paved and uncovered roads
Load transfer platforms
Railways
Parking spaces
Airport construction
Hydraulic works
For the protection of geomembranes in landfills
In tunnels
In general and environmental construction

The main use functions of geocomposites are:
filtering
separation
soil reinforcement
planar current, i.e. draining along its surface
blocking the movement of liquids and gases

When installed, geosynthetics usually perform several of the above functions simultaneously.
