Installation procedures of TENAX MDP geocomposites for civil engineering applications

TENAX MDP geocomposite can be used either on steep slopes, walls and for horizontal applications. Care shall be taken to keep the geocomposite clean and free from debris prior to installation.

 
VERTICAL APPLICATIONS - CONCRETE WALLS
 
VERTICAL APPLICATIONS - CONCRETE WALLS  

TENAX geocomposite shall be cut (using utility knife or scissors) at the required length from footing to top of the wall allowing enough length to wrap the pipe collector at the bottom of the wall. The TENAX MDP 1200 shall be installed with the geomembrane side against the primary waterproofing liner. TENAX geocomposite may be secured to the top of the wall by driving nails through protective washers or wood stripes into the wall, or by gluing it with construction or mastic glue. So it shall be unrolled down the wall with care to avoid any wrinkles.
At the bottom the geonet shall be connected directly with the pipe and the pipe shall be covered with the geotextile.

       
  butyl rubber tape with adhesive  
Adjacent rolls shall be but jointed and the geotextile and geomembrane lateral edges shall be overlapped 100 mm.
If required, joints between adjacent roll can be waterproofed through the use of a butyl rubber tape with adhesive on both sides.
 
HORIZONTAL APPLICATION

In case of installation directly on the soil then the surface shall be previously prepared removing stones, roots, etc., filling any voids in order to obtain a smooth laying surface. Adjacent panels shall be placed so that the cores are butted together and the geotextile is overlapped as described previously. A minimum gradient of 3% shall be reached in order to provide positive drainage.
Typical applications are: roof garden, cast concrete slab drainage, cast concrete slab waterproofing.
