The geocomposite for repaving consists of two essential elements: the drainage layer (geonet), responsible for channeling infiltration or percolation water; and the geotextile, which prevents soil particles from being carried toward the drainage layer. This last point is crucial, as it prevents clogging and the resulting loss of flow.
These synthetic drains offer versatility, allowing for effective use in both horizontal and vertical applications. In this way, the drainage geocomposite ensures efficient and long-lasting groundwater flow under diverse geotechnical conditions.
Advantages / benefits
Effective hydraulic pressure control: Relieves hydrostatic pressures and thrust, contributing to structural stability and water conduction.
Material loss prevention: Prevents soil particle entrainment, ensuring the integrity of the adjacent soil.
Complementary protection of the waterproofing system: Protects waterproofing systems, preventing mechanical damage from underpressure and preserving their functionality over time.
High durability against harsh environments: Resists chemical and biological attacks, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh environmental conditions.

Riparian defense of the La Leche and Motupe rivers, Lambayeque, Peru
In the Lambayeque region, drainage geocomposites were implemented as an ideal solution for controlling the water table in the riverbank defense project spanning more than 10 km along the La Leche and Motupe rivers. These materials were installed at the base of the constructed levees, allowing efficient drainage of the subsoil and reducing internal hydrostatic pressure, thereby improving the overall stability of the protective structures.
This solution directly contributed to strengthening flood defenses, ensuring more effective protection for the adjacent agricultural and urban areas.
