Draintube Conductive

Afitex-Texel Geosynthetics

Draintube Conductive is a conductive drainage geocomposite consisting of an electrically conductive grid made of stainless-steel cables placed inside a Draintube product. Placed between the two geomembranes, it allows leak detection by geo-electrical methods, protects the geomembrane against puncture, and drains any leakage during operation. Draintube Conductive is used as a leak location layer in double-lined ponds and landfills. It is one geocomposite that provides several functions: mechanical protection, filtration, drainage and leak detection; homogeneous diffusion of electric current under the geomembrane; compatibility with geo-electrical leak location surveys—exposed geomembranes (water puddle, arc test) and covered geomembranes (dipole); easy installation with a single product to unroll; cost-effective and an environmentally friendly solution as it replaces granular layers.
