Geonet

 
  Geonets called geospacers by some, constitute another specialized segment within the geosythetic area. Geonet are usually formed by a continuous of parallel sets of polymeric ribs at acute angles to one another. When the ribs are opened, relatively large apertures are formed into a netlike configuration. Their design function is completely within the drainage area where they have been used to convery fluids of all types.

Applications of Geonet
 
  Geonets as described above are used almost exclusively for their drainage capability. As such, they are single-function geosynthetics. The following uses have been documented in the literature.
   
Water drainage behind retaining walls
Water drainage of speeing rock slopes
Water drainage beneath sport fields
Water drainage of frost-susceptible soils
Water drainage beneath building foundations
Water drainage of plaza decks
Leachate drainage of landfill side slopes
Leachate drainage above landfill liners
Surface water drainage within landfill caps
As a drainage blanket beneath a surcharge fill
