SKAPS TRANSNET (TN)
HDPE Geonet/Geotextile Composite

SKAPS Transnet geocomposites typically consist of SKAPS GeoNet with nonwoven polyproplyne geotextile fabric heat-bonded to one or both sides. The geotextile serves as a filter to prevent the geonet from clogging while the geonet provides a path for fluids (liquids and gases). Geocomposites may also be used as a cushion to protect a geomembrane from unduly rough substrates. SKAPS TransNet is designed specifically for use in situations where high normal loads are expected, such as in landfill cell design.

1. These values represent minimum acceptable test values for an individual roll as tested according to SKAPS Manufacturing Quality Control Manual. Individual test specimen may vary.

2. Geonet properties are tested prior to the lamination process. They cannot be tested on the final product.

3. Transmissivity measured using water at 20°C at a gradient of 0.1, under confining pressure of 10,000 psf, between stainless steel plates. Values may vary between individual laboratories.
