How TenCate Uses Geosynthetics in Road Construction and Stabilization

Roads and highways can be dangerous, especially if they’re not maintained properly. Poor construction or unstable conditions can create a potential hazard. That is why TenCate Geosynthetics works hard to develop road stabilization solutions and products that keep roads and highways more intact and more reliable. Take a look at some of the ways TenCate is using geosynthetics in road construction and stabilization, making roads, railways, and highways safer for others.

Products

TenCate Geosynthetics creates numerous materials to help with the reinforcement of numerous surfaces. Below are some products that play a key role in our road stabilization solutions:

• Mirafi®  RSi-Series Woven Geosynthetics- Durable textiles used to reinforce surfaces that are prone to weakening. Its porous material allows filtration while simultaneously keeping the soil confined.
• Mirafi®  H2Ri Woven Geosynthetics- Wicking capable geotextiles used in infrastructure projects such as roads, railways, and airports. Its double-layered design allows for proper drainage while keeping the surface intact.
• Mirafi®  HP-Series High Performance Geotextiles- Woven polypropylene products designed to separate, filter, and reinforce. Available in multiple roll sizes, it provides superior soil confinement which allows greater load distribution.

Solutions

TenCate implements our revolutionary products in numerous ways. Our Road and Railway Stabilization solutions are an excellent example of how geosynthetics are used in road construction and maintenance. Roads built over soft soil can deteriorate over time, so our geosynthetics are placed in between the soil and the road to help maintain the structural integrity of the pavement. For railways, the geosynthetics are placed between the existing formation and the ballast layer to bolster the structure and keep it intact. Our Pavement Rehabilitation solutions are another example of how we rehabilitate roads to establish safety over time.
