GeoComposite GC-Series (GC6GC8)

Drainage systems play a critical role in industries such as construction, waste management and agriculture. Without proper drainage, projects are vulnerable to erosion, water pooling and compromised structural integrity. Viaflex GeoComposite GC-Series addresses these concerns. It not only outperforms traditional materials like gravel, sand or stones but also offers long-term cost savings and environmental benefits.  
 
The GC-Series is lightweight, easy to install and engineered for a range of demanding environments, making it a game-changer for industries seeking modern solutions to drainage challenges.

Features

Three-Dimensional Bi-Planar Geonet Construction: The core of the GC-Series is made of a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geonet that is heat bonded to nonwoven polypropylene geotextiles. This bi-planar structure provides excellent hydraulic properties, making it highly efficient for water flow even in steep slope applications. The three-dimensional design enhances its structural integrity, ensuring that it maintains its form under heavy loads and extreme conditions. 
 
The GC-Series’ unique construction maximizes drainage efficiency, preventing water buildup and erosion, which extends the system’s lifespan and reduces maintenance costs.

Tailored for Specific Flow Rates: One of the standout aspects of the GC-Series is its customizable design, tailored for specific project requirements. Whether it’s GC6 or GC8, each model is engineered to accommodate various flow rates, offering versatility for projects with differing water management needs. 
 
By providing tailored drainage solutions, users can optimize the system for specific applications, ensuring better water control and cost-efficiency in a wide range of environments.

Chemical and Biological Resistance: The GC-Series is designed to withstand exposure to harsh chemicals and biological agents, making it an ideal choice for waste containment systems or agricultural applications where chemicals and organic materials might compromise traditional drainage materials. 
 
This resistance ensures long-term durability in environments where chemical and biological degradation can be a concern, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Lightweight and Easy to Install: In comparison to traditional drainage materials like gravel and sand, the GC-Series is incredibly lightweight, allowing for faster and more efficient installation. GC-Series’ flexibility also allows it to conform to the contours of the installation site, making it easier to handle in complex projects. 
 
The easy installation reduces labor time and costs, making it an attractive option for contractors and project managers seeking to streamline operations.

Environmentally Friendly Alternative: The GC-Series is a more sustainable solution because it eliminates the need for granular materials such as sand or gravel. Its lightweight nature also means less energy is used in transportation, further reducing its environmental footprint. 
 
Companies focused on sustainable practices will find the GC-Series a favorable option, aligning with green building initiatives while delivering top-tier performance.
