TenCate Geosynthetics announced that the TenCate Miragrid XT geogrid product line has completed the first ever evaluation by the National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP) which incorporated an on-site audit of the manufacturing facility.

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in conjunction with NTPEP have developed a process for the evaluation of production data and field performance data for reinforcement geosynthetics.

The data generated by NTPEP is valuable for State DOT's and other regulatory agencies to develop and maintain Qualified Products Listings (QPL). As of 2011, an audit phase has been added to the evaluation process in order to verify the consistency of the geosynthetic reinforcement in accordance with the REGEO work plan.

"We are very proud of our manufacturing process and procedures," stated John Lostumbo, PE, Market Manager for Engineered Structures. "The Project Work Plan developed by NTPEP, which now incorporates an on-site audit process, is among the most stringent review processes available for geosynthetic reinforcement materials. We are excited to be the first geosynthetic producer to complete this evaluation process."
