Composite drainage net and geomembrane play an important role in drainage and anti-seepage. So, can the two be used together?
Composite drainage network
1. Analysis of material properties
Composite drainage net is a three-dimensional network structure material made of polymer materials through special processes, which has very good drainage performance and high strength. It can quickly remove excess water in the soil, prevent soil erosion, and enhance the stability of the soil. Geomembrane is a waterproof barrier material with high molecular polymer as the basic raw material. It has strong anti-seepage performance, can prevent water penetration and protect engineering structures from water erosion.
2. Engineering requirements considerations
In practical engineering, drainage and anti-seepage generally need to be carried out at the same time. For example, in landfills, water conservancy projects, road construction and other fields, it is necessary to remove excess water in the soil and prevent external water from infiltrating into the engineering structure. At this time, a single material is often difficult to meet the dual needs, and the combination of composite drainage net and geomembrane is very suitable.
Geomembrane
1、Collocation advantages
（1）Complementary functions: The composite drainage network is responsible for drainage, and the geomembrane is responsible for anti-seepage. The combination of the two can achieve the dual functions of drainage and anti-seepage.
（2）Enhanced stability: The high strength characteristics of the composite drainage network can enhance the stability of the soil, while the geomembrane can protect the engineering structure from water erosion. The two work together to improve the durability and safety of the project.
（3）Convenient construction: Both the composite drainage network and geomembrane are easy to cut and splice, making the construction convenient and fast, which can shorten the construction period and reduce the construction cost.
2、Precautions for use together
（1）Material selection: When selecting composite drainage network and geomembrane, materials with matching performance and reliable quality should be selected according to the specific needs and conditions of the project.
（2）Construction sequence: During the construction process, the composite drainage network should be laid first, and then the geomembrane should be laid. It can ensure that the drainage net can give full play to its drainage function and prevent the geomembrane from being damaged during the laying process.
（3）Connection treatment: The connection between the composite drainage net and the geomembrane should be firm and reliable to prevent leakage or poor drainage caused by improper connection. It can be connected by hot melt welding, adhesive pasting, etc.
（4）Protective measures: After the laying is completed, necessary protective measures should be taken to prevent the composite drainage network and geomembrane from being mechanically damaged or chemically corroded.
As can be seen from the above, the composite drainage net and geomembrane can be used together. Through reasonable material selection, construction sequence arrangement, connection treatment and protection measures, the advantages of both can be fully exerted, and the dual functions of drainage and anti-seepage can be realized.
