TenCate Geosynthetics Americas has developed another patent pending geosynthetic for road reinforcement, called TenCate Mirafi® RS380i.

In May 2010, TenCate Geosynthetics North America introduced TenCate Mirafi® RS580i, a highly engineered, high strength, geosynthetic product for base reinforcement and subgrade stabilization. Today, TenCate Geosynthetics introduces TenCate Mirafi® RS380i, a lighter RS-Series product that will enable designers to continue to provide more economical solutions for roadway reinforcement applications.

'We have had a tremendous amount of interest and use from engineers with TenCate Mirafi® RS580i, so we felt it was important to provide a second option for less severe applications', says Todd Anderson, Vice-President of Sales.

TenCate Mirafi® RS-Series products integrate the five main properties needed for successful performance in roadways: separation, reinforcement, confinement, filtration and product identification. The double layer construction provides excellent filtration and drainage, while also providing a high level of separation and high strength at low strains. In addition, the unique orange color pattern distinguishes TenCate Mirafi® RSSeries geosynthetics from standard black geotextiles.

TenCate Geosynthetics develops and produces synthetics fabrics, nonwovens and grids, and designs solutions and systems for infrastructure and civil engineering. TenCate Geosynthetics has plants in Europe, North America and Asia.
