OBS

The term fin drain is given to this form of composite geotextile drain because the water conducting sheet is generally in the form of a fin projecting upwards from a pipe.

Geotextile mats, nets, and waffled plastic sheets (sometimes called geospacers) may be used as the core material ... .

This mesh-like appearance led to the term "mesh" being initially applied to this type of geotextile before the industry standardized on the term "net".... This form of geotextile is mainly used as either comparatively low strength soil reinforcement or as the core material in a fin drain geotextile composite....
