Geocomposites are basically combinations of two or more different types of Geosynthetic. As most of the
individual components are thermoplastic they can be thermally laminated, but adhesive bonding and needle punching are also used
Examples include: Geotextile-geonet; geotextile-geogrid; geonet-Geo membrane; or what is termed a Geosynthetic clay liner (GCL). There is almost no limit to the variety of
Geocomposites that are possible and the development of these materials results from the anticipated usefulness of their multifunctional ties and the opportunity for more rapid installation than
by using the individual components. The three main Geocomposites material types are: drainage Geocomposites, reinforcement Geocomposites and fluid barrier Geocomposites.
