I-geonet iyi-geosynthetic enesakhiwo esifana nenetha esisetshenziswa ngokuyinhloko njengomgogodla wokukhipha amanzi ukudlulisa uketshezi ngaphakathi kwendiza. Ekwakhiweni komgwaqo, ama-geonet abekwa ngaphansi komgwaqo noma ngemuva kwezindonga zokugcina ukuze aqoqe futhi athuthe amanzi kude nesakhiwo, evimbela ukwakheka kwengcindezi ye-hydrostatic futhi anciphise umonakalo ohlobene nomswakama. Avame ukusetshenziswa ezinhlelweni eziyinhlanganisela nama-geotextile ukuze akhe ungqimba lokuhlunga nokukhipha amanzi, okuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kokukhipha amanzi ohlelweni lomgwaqo.

Ukukhetha i-geogrid efanele kuhilela ukuhlola amandla e-subgrade (inani le-CBR), imingcele yomthwalo wethrafikhi, izakhiwo ze-base aggregate, kanye nezimo zemvelo. Ama-biaxial geogrids afanelekile ekuqiniseni umgwaqo ojwayelekile ngaphansi kwezingcindezi zethrafikhi ezinhlangothini zombili, kuyilapho ama-uniaxial geogrids esetshenziselwa ukuqinisa imithambeka ngomthwalo ogxile ohlangothini olulodwa. Ama-triaxial geogrids anikeza ukuqinisa okuzinhlangothini eziningi futhi afaneleka kahle kumaphrojekthi adinga ukusabalalisa umthwalo ngokulinganayo kuzo zonke izinhlangothi. Ukubonisana namathuluzi okuklama abakhiqizi noma amashidi obuchwepheshe kungasiza ekunciphiseni izinga elithile lomkhiqizo elidingekayo lomsebenzi wakho.

Ama-geomembrane abalulekile emisebenzini yemigwaqo etholakala eduze kwamanzi abucayi lapho kunobungozi bokuthi ukungcola kungene emanzini angaphansi komhlaba noma emanzini angaphezulu. Avame ukudingwa yimithetho yezemvelo emisebenzini ehlanganisa ukuwela amaxhaphozi, imifula, noma izindawo ezinamanzi angaphansi komhlaba asetshenziselwa amanzi okuphuza. Nokho, akukho wonke umgwaqo oseduze kwamanzi odinga i-geomembrane; isidingo sinqunywa ukuhlolwa kobungozi okucabangela izinto ezifana nohlobo lwezimoto (isb., ukuthuthwa kwezinto eziyingozi), ukungena kwamanzi kwenhlabathi engaphansi, kanye nokusondela kwezindawo zokuthatha amanzi.

I-wicking geotextile iwugeotextile ethuthukisiwe esebenzisa imicu ekhethekile eyakhelwe ukukhipha umswakama emhlabathini ongaphansi ngokusebenzisa isenzo sokudonsa umswakama, ngisho noma ingekho i-hydraulic gradient. Iwusizo ikakhulukazi ekwakhiweni kwemigwaqo ezindaweni ezinamanzi aphezulu, ezifundeni ezinemvula enkulu ngezikhathi ezithile zonyaka, noma lapho umhlabathi ongaphansi unenhlabathi enezinhlayiya ezincane egcina amanzi. Ngokunciphisa umswakama emhlabathini ongaphansi, ama-wicking geotextiles athuthukisa amandla omhlabathi futhi anciphise ubungozi bokuphahlazeka komgwaqo ngenxa yemijikelezo yokubanda nokuncibilika noma ukuthamba komhlabathi.

Ukuqinisekiswa kwekhwalithi yokufakwa kwe-geosynthetic kuhilela izinyathelo ezimbalwa ezibalulekile: ukuhlola ngamehlo impahla uma ilimele ngaphambi kokuyithumela, ukuqinisekisa ububanzi obulungile bokugqagqana nokuthungwa, ukwenza izivivinyo zokuhlubula noma izivivinyo zokugunda emithungweni yama-geomembrane, nokuqinisekisa ukuqiniswa okulungile kwama-geogrid. Ukubhalwa kwazo zonke izinqubo zokufaka, okuhlanganisa izithombe nemiphumela yezivivinyo, kubalulekile. Abakhiqizi abaningi banikeza ukwesekwa kwezobuchwepheshe endaweni ukuze basize ekuqinisekiseni ukufakwa, baqinisekise ukuthi umkhiqizo uhlangabezana nezimfuneko zephrojekthi.

Imigwaqo eyakhiwe ngama-geosynthetics ngokuvamile idinga ukunakekelwa okuncane kunemigwaqo eyakhiwe ngendlela evamile ngoba izendlalelo ze-geosynthetic zisiza ukuvimbela izindlela eziholela ekonakaleni komgwaqo, njengokumpompa kwenhlabathi engaphansi, ukufuduka kwamatshe, nokuqhekeka okubuyela emuva. Ukunakekelwa okuvamile kufanele kuhlanganise ukuhlola isimo somgwaqo ngezikhathi ezithile, ukuvala imifantu, nokuqapha noma yiziphi izindawo zokukhipha amanzi ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi zihlala zivulekile. Emigwaqweni enama-smart geosynthetics, izinzwa ezifakwe ngaphakathi zinganikeza idatha yesimo sezempilo ngesikhathi sangempela, okuvumela ukungenelela kokunakekelwa okuqondisiwe esikhundleni sokulungisa okusekelwe eshedvulini.

Izinsiza zobuchwepheshe ezithembekile zokuklama i-geosynthetic zihlanganisa amashidi obuchwepheshe abakhiqizi, imihlahlandlela yokuklama evela ezinhlanganweni zemboni ezifana ne-International Geosynthetics Society (IGS), kanye namathuluzi akhethekile esofthiwe. Abakhiqizi abaningi abahamba phambili, okuhlanganisa ne-Geofantex Geosynthetics, bahlinzeka ngesofthiwe yokuklama yamahhala, izifundo zamacala ezinhlelo, kanye nemihlahlandlela yokuklama eqondene nohlelo oluthile kumawebhusayithi abo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amajenali abuyekeziwe nontanga kanye nezingqungquthela zinikeza ucwaningo lwakamuva mayelana nokusebenza kwe-geosynthetic nokusungula izinto ezintsha, okubalulekile konjiniyela abafuna ulwazi olujulile lobuchwepheshe.
