Effective Applications of Geocomposite Drainage System in Modern Engineering
The implementation of a geocomposite drainage system has become a critical solution in managing subsurface water and improving soil stability across various civil engineering projects. These innovative geosynthetics combine drainage cores with filtering geotextiles, providing efficient water conveyance while preventing soil intrusion, which enhances structural durability and safety. Crossrail Project, London One prominent example is the Crossrail Project in London, where geocomposite drainage systems were extensively used behind retaining walls and tunnel linings to control groundwater and reduce hydrostatic pressure. The system’s lightweight design and ease of installation helped accelerate construction timelines in this complex urban environment while maintaining effective drainage performance.
