Geonet
Drain Smart, Build Strong
A geonet is a three-dimensional synthetic drainage layer engineered to manage the flow of liquids and gases in civil engineering, environmental, and geotechnical applications. Constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), it features a structured configuration of intersecting ribs that form open channels, allowing for rapid and consistent fluid movement.
Geonets are commonly used in layered systems where reliable drainage and filtration are critical, helping to reduce hydrostatic pressure and maintain the stability of surrounding materials. Their durable, chemical-resistant composition makes them ideal for long-term performance in a variety of engineered environments.
Benefits of Geonets
- High Flow Capacity: Efficiently channels liquids and gases, even in low permeability soils.
- Durability: Resistant to chemicals and UV radiation, ensuring a long service life.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Lightweight and easy to install, reducing labor and transportation costs.
- Environmental Sustainability: Helps prevent soil erosion, groundwater contamination, and greenhouse gas emissions.
Applications
- Landfills
- Mining
- Ponds
- Road construction
- Slope stabilization
Features
- The three-dimensional structure provides high tensile strength and effective drainage pathways.
- Geonets offer increased resistance to clogging by maintaining open flow paths even under load and in the presence of fine particles.
- Can be used in various applications such as erosion control, landfill leachate management, gas venting, mining, and road construction
