Landfill Geotextiles- Needle Detected Secutex Design Method according to GDA E -9 and Geomembranes are often used in civil engineering applications to create a hydraulic EN 1 71 9-1 : 0 0 barrier. Their basic function is to remain impervious over the design life of the project. The design is based on a performance test (as shown in Fig.).
