Layer (Top to Bottom)MaterialThickness / SpecificationPrimary Function
1. Leachate Collection & Removal System (LCRS)Granular drainage aggregate + perforated HDPE pipes300 mm min. gravel (k ≥ 1×10⁻² cm/s)Collect and transmit leachate to sump
2. Geotextile FilterNonwoven needle-punched geotextile≥ 400 g/m², O₉₅ 0.1–0.2 mmFilter fine particles; protect drainage layer
3. Geocomposite Drainage Layer (optional)Geonet + bonded nonwoven geotextileTransmissivity ≥ 3×10⁻⁴ m²/sSupplement drainage capacity on slopes
4. Primary GeomembraneHDPE geomembrane (textured one side)2.0 mm (base), 1.5 mm (slopes)Primary hydraulic barrier
5. Secondary Geomembrane Detection LayerGeonet or geocompositeTransmissivity ≥ 3×10⁻⁵ m²/sLeak detection between liners
6. Secondary GeomembraneHDPE geomembrane (smooth)1.5 mmSecondary hydraulic barrier
7. GCL (Geosynthetic Clay Liner)Needle-punched GCL with sodium bentonite≥ 4.8 kg/m² bentoniteTertiary low-permeability layer; self-healing
8. Compacted SubgradeNative or imported soil, compacted≥ 300 mm, k ≤ 1×10⁻⁵ cm/sStructural support; final backup barrier
