Geomembranes are used in a variety of geotechnical structures where leakage is critical... waterproofing alone does not prevent leakage; waterproofing plus drainage is necessary; and synthetic drainage layers provide an effective solution to the problem of geomembrane associated drainage... Synthetic drainage layers are made of planar materials thick enough to convey fluids in their plane. Available materials include :Needlepunched nonwoven geotextiles... Mats... Nets...

Les géomembranes sont utilisées dans des ouvrages où il est primordial d'empêcher les fuites. [...] l'étanchéité seule ne permet pas d'empêcher les fuites; étanchéité et drainage sont nécessaires; les couches drainantes synthétiques conviennent pour le drainage associé aux géomembranes. 3, record 2, French, - couche%20drainante%20synth%C3%A9tique

Nonwoven geotextiles are formed from filaments or fibers arranged at random and bonded together into a planar structure. The filaments or the fibers are first arranged into a loose web, then bonded together using one, or a combination, of the following processes : Chemical bonding.... Thermal bonding.... Mechanical bonding by needlepunching : thousands of small barbed needles, set into a board, are punched through the loose web and withdrawn, leaving filaments or fibers entangled. One thus obtains needlepunched nonwoven geotextile. 3, record 3, English, - needlepunched%20nonwoven%20geotextile

Mechanically bonded geotextiles are formed by deliberately entangling the filaments to form comparatively loose bonds where the filaments cross over. As the process used to achieve this mechanical bond is known as "needle-punching" these geotextiles may also be referred to as needle-punched geotextiles. Needle-punching involves repeatedly driving thousands of barbed needles into the loose sheet of polymer filaments. 3, record 4, English, - needle%20punched
