TenCate™ Geosynthetics has published its Summer 2009 issue of MiraFacts, a semi-annual, electronic publication detailing projects, issues affecting engineering, short course and training opportunities, and more.
The Summer 2009 issue of MiraFacts contains a host of interesting stories.
The feature story follows the introduction of Mirafi® MiraGreen™ D Nonwoven Geotextiles. This new drainage geocomposite is not only performing exceptionally well on site, it’s made with 30% recycled content.
A specification alert looks at burst and puncture strength tests, changes in how things are and will be reported, the role of the Geosynthetic Institute, and more.
Case studies can be found regarding the Chicago Parks Department’s utilization of orange deliniation fabric, the use of high-performance geotextile instead of more costly biaxial geogrids for parking lot subgrade improvement (and carbon footprint reduction), and achieving LEED credits with Mirafi® HP570.
Additionally, updates on the Mirafi® Road Shows and important events are included. You also have a chance to register to win an iPod.
