Description
GeoDrain LD 500 is an enhanced-strength HDPE cuspated drainage core designed for containment systems where higher compressive resistance and long-term performance are required. The product provides reliable in-plane drainage for leak detection while maintaining effective gas venting capabilities under sustained loading conditions.
The cuspated geometry ensures consistent flow paths for leaked liquids, allowing rapid conveyance to monitoring systems for early identification of liner breaches. At the same time, the open drainage structure enables controlled venting of gases generated within containment facilities, reducing uplift pressures and improving liner stability.
GeoDrain LD 500 is particularly suited to applications involving deeper containment cells, higher overburden loads, or more demanding operating conditions. The HDPE construction delivers excellent chemical resistance and long-term durability in aggressive environments.

Supply, delivery & installation
South African supply
We are the South African supplier of GeoDrain drainage and leak-detection sheets. We have ready stock of standard grades and formats for South African projects.
Delivery & cross-border supply
We supply GeoDrain drainage and leak-detection sheets across South Africa and Southern Africa, including cross-border delivery. We coordinate site access, unloading and cross-border documentation for your order.
How we install
We install GeoDrain drainage and leak-detection sheets. Prepare and inspect the supporting liner or substrate. Lay the selected drainage core or composite, join panels and form filter-fabric overlaps where specified. Connect the collection outlets, check continuity and place the cover without damaging or crushing the drainage layer.

SELECTION · SPECIFICATION · PROJECT SUPPLY
Choose the right specification
Select a complete drainage route from collection through the material to a suitable outlet.
- Confirm whether the duty is drainage, leak detection, cable protection or structured-wall conveyance.
- Specify dimensions, loading, flow conditions, interfaces and the exact filter arrangement where needed.
- Coordinate connections, outlets, access and long-term performance for the actual application.
Define the quality records
Verify product identity, dimensional and relevant mechanical or hydraulic data, connections, filters and damage checks before covering.
