Case 1: Landfill Leachate Management At a municipal landfill in Texas, engineers struggled with leachate accumulation threatening the site’s stability. Installing a geocomposite drain layer beneath the waste cover enabled rapid water movement, reduced leachate pooling, and extended the landfill’s operational lifespan. This solution minimized environmental risk and improved overall site safety. For additional landfill solutions, see Geofantex landfill geosynthetics . Case 2: Highway Embankment Stabilization In a highway expansion project in Florida, heavy rainfall caused frequent slope saturation and erosion issues. The project team implemented a geocomposite drain system behind retaining walls to enhance...
