A geocomposite which is suitable for the consolidation and/or drainage of ground, having a plurality of layers including at least a first web of geotextile and at least a second web of geotextile which are thermofixed to the sides of an intermediate separation layer which is produced by at least one geomat of entangled plastics threads having a thickness of approximately from 4 to 5 mm, or more. This geocomposite may be used as a basis in order to form a complex geocomposite, in which there is thermofixed to at least one of the webs of the basic geocomposite at least one additional layer of a geosynthetic selected from the group including geogrids, geonets, geomats, geotextiles, geomembranes or a combination or stratification thereof.

At least one of the first geotextile web and the second geotextile web is a water-repellent non-woven textile. This geocomposite may be used as a basis in order to form a complex geocomposite, wherein there is thermofixed to at least one of the webs of the basic geocomposite at least one additional layer of a geosynthetic selected from the group including geogrids, geonets, geomats, geotextiles, geomembranes or a combination or stratification thereof.

The invention relates to a below grade, blind side, waterproofing sheet membrane with adhesive and high reflectivity granular particle layer, and having a top release liner, and a bottom release liner, enhancing bond strength between sheets, and be able to fully bond to concrete/shotcrete, and a method of making, and using same. The inventive waterproofing sheet membrane with adhesive, has at least one layer of high reflectivity granular particle layer that are fully or partly embedded into the adhesive layer, and where the average reflectivity of the exposed granular particles is between about 35 percent to 80 percent reflectivity on a standard reflectivity scale. The waterproofing sheet membrane has an adhesive layer having embedded therein high reflectivity granular particles is used in any building or wall construction, and can be placed under or around a foundation of a building or on its below grade blind side retaining walls, etc.
