Land Reclamation and Highways
Finesse Pozidrain geocomposites are widely used in soil stabilisation applications. High tensile strength and flow capacity ensure excellent reinforcement and separation. Pozidrain provides a more environmentally acceptable solution than crushed stone drainage layers. It is lighter, uses less transport and helps conserve finite natural resources. Due to its high drainage properties Pozidrain often enables low grade recycled material to be used as backfill.

Environmental Protection
Pozidrain installed over contaminated soil will collect and drain rain water from the clean soil cover above. It will provide separation and reinforcement for the backfill material. Pozidrain will perform as a capillary break to prevent contaminated water seeping up from below. If required it can be supplied with core in the orange colour to act as an indicator layer.

Embankment Stabilisation and Drainage
The use of Pozidrain drainage layers for embankment stabilisation, providing both an element of drainage and reinforcement, is the most effective solution and produces the greatest increase in soil strength. The contribution of the drainage function is seen to be at least equal to that of the reinforcement.

Slope Stabilisation
Pozidrain is conveniently used to stabilise the face of embankments or cuttings where ground water seepage is washing away material from the face. Pozidrain laid along the face of slope enables low grade excavated material to be used to re-profile the slope.
