Landfills

In waste disposal site constructions, waterproof membranes are combined with drainage systems to prevent contaminated water and biogases from leaking into the surrounding environment, whilst preventing water seepage into the waste material.

Fibertex Geotextiles, with high puncture resistance, are successfully used in waste disposal constructions to protect waterproof membranes from damage and to ensure a safe and effective drainage system, that offers an extended service life.

The use of our geotextiles improves the integrity of the construction and also reduces the thickness of each layer in the waste disposal system, resulting in substantial cost savings.

In supervised landfills sites, Fibertex Geotextiles on both sides of the membranes protect them from perforation. Furthermore, Fibertex Geotextiles are used as filter protection of the drainage layers.

Applications - Landfills - Bottom layers
