TenCate develops and produces materials that function to increase performance, reduce costs and deliver measurable results by working with our customers to provide advanced solutions.
The Difference Mirafi ® HP-Series HighPerformance Geotextiles Make:
- Reinforcement Strength: Higher tensile modulus properties per ASTM D4595 than any comparable stabilization product.
- Separation and Filtration: Unique geotextile weave provides excellent separation factors with controlled filtration and drainage. Uniform openings provide same filtration and flow characteristics as that of a fine to coarse sand layer.
- Durability: Superior damage resistance for moderate to severe stress installations.
- Soil Interaction: Superior soil confinement resulting in greater load distribution.
- Roll Sizes: Mirafi ® HP geotextiles come in multiple roll sizes to fit your project requirements.
- Seams: Panels can be sewn together in the factory or field, providing cross-roll direction strength to facilitate installation.
Functions
Separation
The placement of a flexible, porous geotextile between dissimilar materials so that the integrity and intended functions of both materials remain intact or are improved.
Filtration
The equilibrium soil-to-geotextile system that allows for adequate movement of a liquid across the plane of the geotextile with limited soil loss over the service lifetime of the application.
Reinforcement
The synergistic improvement of a total system’s strength created by the introduction of a reinforcing geosynthetic (that is good in tension) into a soil and/or aggregate system (that is good in compression but poor in tension).
Confinement
The ability of a geosynthetic to restrain lateral movement from a soil or aggregate through friction or mechanical interlock.

Haul/Access Roads, Kincardine, Ontario, CAN
Canada, Ontario, Kincardine
The challenge was to place access roads on damp clay on a very tight schedule with no time to dry the soil. Enbridge Ontario Wind Power LP (“Enbridge”) constructed a wind power project in the northern part of Kincardine, Ontario.
