Geosynthetics for a green appearance

In the building of slopes and embankments TenCate Miramesh® GR ensures strengthening and protection of the construction. The slope quickly becomes covered with vegetation, preventing the erosion of small particles of soil. The only problem is that –
depending on the climate and other conditions –natural vegetation does not always materialize. This was a reason for Fred Chuck
(Director of Reinforced Markets) to look around for a solution. To this end he and his colleagues also looked at the technology at the other companies within TenCate, such as TenCate Grass in Dayton (Tennessee). The new SG quality was developed together with the R&D people here within two years.

Use of TenCate Miramesh® GR in the extension of Yeager Airport. This quality was developed further, resulting in TenCate
Miramesh® SG

TenCate Miramesh® combines the GR quality with synthetic turf fibres for a permanent green appearance without the need for
young plantings. The UV-protective layer provides extra protection against erosion and extends the lifespan of the slope.
TenCate Miramesh® SG provides surface erosion protection and secondary reinforcement. This is much better for durability and
thus stability. And the slope immediately acquires an attractive appearance and it is a cost-effective solution. The top of the construction easily becomes covered with vegetation in a natural way.
