LANDFILL DRAINTUBE FTP

At the end of their operation landfill cells must be closed and covered with topsoil. To allow the ingress of rainwater in the waste mass with a view to guaranteeing its degradation over time, providing the cover with a semi-water barrier with DRAINTUBE^® FTP is necessary.

This solution is used on cell caps to drain rainwater and provide the landfill cover with a semi-water barrier.

DRAINTUBE® FTP is the combination, by means of needling, of DRAINTUBE^® FT with a polyethylene film to help limit water seepage in waste. The film is 70% needled, meaning that 30% of the surface of the geocomposite is impermeable.

Connection to the collector via the Quick Connect system 

The Quick Connect system directly connects the mini-drains from the DRAINTUBE^® FTP to the main collector drain. In the event of gas drainage, it generates negative pressure in the entire system.

• Filtration of the cover soil layer
• Effective drainage of rainwater
• Limitation of the infiltration of rainwater through the final cover: less than 20%
• Stability of the final cover
• Easy installation with a single product to unroll
• Cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution as it replaces granular layers
• Preservation of the mechanical characteristics of the containment layer

• Polypropylene geocomposite combined with a polyethylene film
• Roll width : 3.90 m
• Roll length : 50 m
• 3 diameters of perforated mini-drains : 16, 20 and 25 mm
• 4 possible distances between mini-drains : 200 cm, 100 cm, 50 cm and 25 cm
