Mirafi® H2Ri
Mirafi® H2Ri is a highly engineered geosynthetic that incorporates a unique water wicking component to provide the ultimate integrated geosynthetic for subgrade stability in subsoil environments with high moisture contents. H2Ri is created using a combination of woven, super high-tenacity polypropylene filaments and patented wicking filaments. These yarns are formed into an innovative weave structure to provide superior reinforcement strength and soil interaction integrated with wicking capabilities. H2Ri is the first geosynthetic with the ability to drain water without relying on gravity. This marks a significant advancement in drainage applications and provides the first geotextile that can drain soils before they are saturated.
Functionalities
Erosion Protection
The use of an erosion control blanket (ECB) or turf reinforcement mat (TRM) to protect the soil surface and prevent soil particles from being detached by rainfall, flowing water, or wind.
Moisture Management
The ability to move a liquid through soil-geotextile system by capillary action, neither relying on gravity nor a positive hydraulic gradient.
Drainage
The equilibrium soil-to-geotextile system that allows for adequate movement of a liquid in the plane of the geotextile over the service lifetime of the application.
Protection
The action of protecting someone or something, or the state of being protected.
Confinement
The ability of a geosynthetic to restrain lateral movement from a soil or aggregate through friction or mechanical interlock.
Reflective Crack Management
The stress reduction from a geosynthetic while the system is in a state of constant deformation or load.
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.
Rehealing
Adhering two different surfaces or materials using an adhesive substrate.
Moisture Barrier
The use of a coating to create an impervious surface.
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).
Soil 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).
