Composite material made of multiple geosynthetic components [self-published source]<--1st-5th edition published by 3rd-party publisher, 6th edition published by self-publication company (Xlibris, same author)--> Installation of a geocomposite drain. Geocomposite drains are often used on steep slopes of landfill capping systems. Installation of a geocomposite drain. Geocomposites are combinations of two or more geosynthetic materials for civil engineering applications that perform multiple geosynthetic functions; the five basic functions are: separation, reinforcement, filtration, drainage, and containment. Such composite materials may enhance technical properties of the soil or the geotechnical structure and minimize application costs. Geotextile-geonet composites When a geotextile is used on one or both sides of a geonet, the separation and filtration functions are always satisfied, but the drainage function is vastly improved in comparison to geotextiles by themselves. Such geocomposites are regularly used in intercepting and conveying leachate in landfill liner and cover systems and for conducting vapor or water beneath pond liners of various types. These drainage geocomposites
