Drainage system is required in every premise and is a very important part of architectural layout. Without drainage systems, any structure does not give proper hygiene and also safety issues may arise as stagnant water weakens a property.
Various developments have been made in components related to drainage systems such as replacing metal pipes with PVC pipe which, unlike metal pipes, do not corrode. Just as PVC and such parts have replaced old materials, newer methods have also been developed for more efficiency in drainage management. One of these methods is the geocomposite methods.
These kinds of drainages consist of a mix of textiles, nets and membranes. They are used together and each one performs its own task. While textile aids in filtering, the water that passes through the textile and enters the net where soil particles are removed. There are also gasses that pass the textile; they get stuck at the net and are carried to various collection points. Membrane prohibits the passage of gasses and liquids.
Pipes in geocomposite system of drainage are light weight and are easy to install. The whole system is cheaper to install and does not require much transportation. They are used in highways, tunnels, basements and many more structures.
