22 June 2009, Pendergrass, GA - TenCate Geosynthetics has introduced
Mirafi MiraGreen D for site drainage
applications for engineers and architects committed to designing
environmentally sound projects. Mirafi MiraGreen D is a nonwoven drainage geotextile
comprised of 30% (LEED calculated) recycled content and TenCate says it has
developed, through extensive research, a uniquely reliable product that reduces
dependence on virgin petroleum based resins.
Mirafi MiraGreen D
recycled drainage geotextiles are used in a wide variety of drainage
applications. Lightweight nonwovens are predominantly used for subsurface
drainage applications along highways, green roofs, athletic fields, and within
embankments under airfields. For these drainage structures to be effective,
they must have a properly designed protective filter. Mirafi MiraGreen D
recycled nonwoven geotextiles eliminate the problems of determining the
aggregate gradation required to match soil conditions, finding a convenient and
economical source of a specific aggregate gradation, transporting and placing
graded aggregate, and assuring that the in place aggregate gradation provides
effective filter performance.
Mirafi MiraGreen
recycled nonwoven geotextiles contribute towards earning credits for three key
categories in LEED-NC: Sustainable Sites; Materials & Resources; and
Innovation & Design Process. LEED-NC (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental for New Construction) Green Building Rating System is a
nationally accepted green building standard and Mirafi MiraGreen recycled
nonwoven geotextiles strive to improve the quality of new construction projects
while positively impacting our environment.
