At the end of their operation, landfill cells must be closed and covered with topsoil. To prevent the ingress of rainwater in waste, a water barrier must be installed in the cover using DRAINTUBE® FT/PE.
This solution is used on cell caps to drain rainwater and provide the cap with a water barrier in a single product. It consists of a DRAINTUBE® FT combined with a geomembrane which may have a textured underside to increase cover stability.
Connection to the collector via the Quick Connect system
The Quick Connect system directly connects the mini-drains from the DRAINTUBE® FT/PE to the main collector drain. In the event of gas drainage, it generates negative pressure in the entire system.
Benefits
Rapid drainage of seeping rainwater
Water barrier in the cover thanks to the overlapping of the geomembrane
Cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution, does not require any granular material
Stability of slopes and domes for revegetation
Preservation of the mechanical characteristics of the containment layer
