TenCate introduces soil-stabilizing woven geosynthetic

Published On: December 26, 2011

TenCate Geosynthetics North America has developed a patented, woven geosynthetic for soil stabilization and base course reinforcement applications when differential settlement occurs due to heaving in the subgrade soils.

TenCate Mirafi® H2Ri is a wicking geosynthetic created from high-tenacity polypropylene filaments and wicking filaments woven to provide reinforcement strength and soil interaction integrated with high soil retention and wicking capabilities.

TenCate Mirafi® H2Ri woven geosynthetic contains proprietary hydrophilic and hygroscopic yarn that provides wicking action through the plane of the geosynthetic while maintaining high tensile modulus properties. Uniform openings provide consistent filtration and flow characteristics of a fine to coarse sand layer.
