Utilização dos geossintéticos na drenagem de um empreendimento residencial no litoral de João Pessoa/Pb.

Abstract

The construction industry is going through a problem with regard to the availability of natural resources used in its works, with the high demand and environmental issues that surround humanity, materials must be used in the most sustainable way possible. One of the solutions found for this problem is the implementation of new technologies, which add quality to the final product, with productivity gains, normal and more reliable, respecting environmental issues. Geosynthetics are polymeric products with a high level of durability and reliability that can advance functions such as separation, filtration, protection, protection, control of erosive processes, waterproofing and drainage, acting mainly in geotechnical works, as an alternative to conventional technologies. The constant presence of water in contact with the structures in civil works is responsible for the pathologies and efficient drainage is essential to solve these inconveniences. This work aims to analyze the implementation of geosynthetics in the drainage system to replace conventional materials, through a case study carried out in a multi-storey residential building, located in the city of João Pessoa / PB, the advantages and disadvantages observed during its implementation. It is concluded that the investments made by the construction company in project, labor, materials, tools and equipment provided good results in the use of this new material, despite some disadvantages related to its form of acquisition.
