Patent number: 8970201Abstract: A geocomposite for positioning under a geomembrane comprising at least one first geotextile covered by at least one second geotextile at least one electrically conductive textile being positioned between the second geotextile and the first geotextile. The conductive textile having a module for connecting to a phase of an electric generator. The geocomposite being in the form of one or several strips at the edges of which the second geotextile, the first geotextile and the electrically conductive textile are separate from each other, the geocomposite comprising perforated ringed mini-drains positioned parallel with each other on the first geotextile and covered with the second geotextile.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2011Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Afitex InternationalInventor: Yves Durkheim
