TenCate Geosynthetics Unlike typical HPTRM systems in the marketplace that exhibit a uniform pyramidal shaped pattern, the unique design of Mirafi TM13C and TM14S allows for a lighter weight geosynthetic, which lowers the overall carbon footprint by reducing the volume of raw material required, as well as decreasing material handling effort in the field. They are able to accomplish comparable or superior performance results to that of typical pyramidal shaped HPTRM systems. The random pattern assists with the dissipation of flowing water, and the increased roughness coefficient, combined with greater light penetration, creates a nurturing environment in which the grass root system is allowed to grow.www.tencategeosynthetics.com
