Landfill Capping

At the end of the filling period, storage sites must be developed in order to:

  • prevent rain from entering the volume of pollutant leachate
  • capture biogases
  • revegetate and reclaim the site.

Drainage gases

A degassing system can be advantageously and economically implemented with draining strips or a uniform puncture-resistant sheet in needle-punched nonwoven composite with a network of mini-drains: teradrain®.

Needle-punched nonwoven composite with a network of mini-drains for filtration and gas drainage: teradrain®

Typical applications

  • prevent rain from entering the volume of pollutant leachate
  • capture biogases
  • revegetate and reclaim the site
  • protection of the waterproofing layer

Benefits

  • all-in-one drainage solutions
  • carbon saving alternatives
  • environmental compliance

Waterproofing the cover

A HDPE heat-sealable waterproofing membrane equipped with vents.

HDPE heat-sealable geomembrane for waterproofing.

Protecting the waterproofing and draining rainwater on flat ground

On flat ground, the waterproofing is protected from puncturing by a composite sheet with a network of mini-drains.

Needle-punched nonwoven composite with a network of mini-drains: teradrain®

Protecting the waterproofing and draining rainwater on embankments

In embankments, the geomembrane is protected by a puncture-resistant geocellular structure which stabilises and drains the top layer, teracro® TD.

The top soil is backfilled as work progresses or with a long-arm excavator.

All-in-one solution: teraplex®

The all-in-one teraplex® product is a multifunction monobloc composite designed by teragéos for waste coverings. The dome is to be capped with terapro® peripheral drainage channels and water downpipes, adapted to the runoff surface.

The product combines in a single factory-manufactured piece a needle-punched nonwoven, a network of perforated mini-drains, reinforcing cables, filtering geocellular structures, and a waterproof sheet.

Flexible drainage channels, trenches, gutters

Many coverings are destabilised due to the lack of a drainage channel to recover water.

Flexible geosynthetic drainage channels are an economical alternative, easily and quickly installed.
