TenCate Mirafi® High strength PET woven geotextiles

TenCate Mirafi® PET high strength woven geotextiles are made from high tenacity polyester yarns with long term high strength reinforcement properties ideal for basal reinforcement applications on soft soils, piles and over cavities. Mirafi® PET high strength woven geotextiles provide a cost effective solution to achieve greater and quicker stability of embankments constructed on soft foundations.

Benefits of Mirafi® PET :

Excellent stress/strain behavior
High long term design strength with low creep effects
Enables optimum embankment height over a minimum area and steeper side slopes
Increase in construction speed with no loss of stability
Resistance to outward movement of the embankment
Long term properties for performance over the lifetime of the structure
Long and wide rolls including custom made sizes to facilitate ease of installation

Functionalities of Mirafi® PET

Reinforcement

The synergistic improvement of a total system’s strength created with a reinforcing geosynthetic (that is good in tension) into a soil and/or aggregate system (that is good in compression but poor in tension) to ensure the stability of structures.

Separation

The placement of a flexible, porous geotextile between dissimilar materials to prevent them from mixing so that the integrity and intended functions of both materials remain intact or are improved.

Typical Applications of Mirafi® PET

Basal Reinforcement Solutions

High strength PET woven geotextiles is a cost effective solution for basal reinforcement of embankments on soft foundations, piles and over cavities.
