Geo pipes are perforated or strong polymeric pipes that are used for liquid and gas drainage (that includes leachate or gas collection in landfill applications). In a few instances, a geotextile filter is wrapped around the perforated pipe.
Stiff geopipes used in the transportation of water, gas, oil, and other liquids are usually made of steel, iron, concrete, and clay. Flexible geopipes are made of polymeric materials.
– Geo pipes have a significantly longer lifespan than alternatives.
– The installation of the geo pipes is easy and time-saving.
– There is no need for any maintenance once it is installed.
– The geo pipes are cost-effective and affordable.
– Due to its lightweight it can be easily carried, stored, and laid.
– Can be used without any filter on sandy floors or ground.
Geo pipes are utilized in numerous geotechnical, transportation, and environmental engineering applications. Water and gas distribution, sewage and wastewater, oil and gas production, industrial and mining applications, electricity and communications, and duct and irrigation systems are also potential applications.
