Geotextiles in Landfill Construction: Filtration and Drainage Solutions
Landfills are crucial in managing waste, but their construction and maintenance involve complex engineering to prevent environmental contamination. Geotextiles, a type of geosynthetic material, are integral to modern landfill design and operation. They serve multiple purposes, from enhancing stability to protecting the environment. Geotextiles are commonly used as filters to prevent adjacent fine-grained soils from entering and clogging geonet or aggregate drainage layers placed above the geomembrane to collect surface seepage water.
