Under the relevant guidelines, surface sealing systems for landfill sites and tips consist of a number of different functional layers. In the past twenty years, geosynthetic layers for draining gas and water have established themselves as alternatives to mineral based sealing systems. The performance required of a geosynthetic composite over its working life is controlled though tests done by independent organizations and by strict quality control.

With the 5 m wide drainage mats from the Enkadrain product family (Enkadrain Wide), Colbond offers products meeting the high demands on gas and water drainage in landfill surface sealing systems. Special product types can replace the conventional 0.30 m thick gravel drainage layer and the geotextile protection layer.
