TenCate Mirafi Geotextiles FW-Series
FW-Series Woven Monofilament Polypropylene Filter Fabric Geotextiles
Mirafi® FW-Series geotextiles are made of highly UV-stabilized monofilament and multifilament yarns that possess unique physical and hydraulic properties not found in other woven or nonwoven geotextiles. With highly durable strengths, consistent pore sizes, high flow rates, and clog resistance, this product is perfect for shoreline and other erosion control applications.
Mirafi® FW-Series geotextiles are used underneath riprap or concrete revetment systems along inland waterways and coastal shorelines to protect spillways and cut-off drains.
Mirafi® FW woven monofilament polypropylene geotextiles function for filtration, separation, and erosion protection. Mirafi® FW-Series are highly UV-stabilized, with high strengths for durability and survivability, consistent, measurable pore sizes, long-term clogging resistance, high flow rates, superior soil confinement, cross roll direction strength when panels are sewn together.
Highlights
-
- Engineered Filtration - Resists clogging while maintaining flow rates in high gradient and dynamic flow conditions
- Durability - High survivability rating in aggressive installation and loading conditions along with excellent resistance to chemicals in aggressive environments
- Soil Interaction - Superior soil confinement resulting in greater load distribution
- Unique Constructions - Manufactured with highly UV stabilized multifilament fibers which provide uniform opening size (AOS) while maintaining high long-term flow rates. Mirafi ® FW-Series geotextiles are manufactured with specialized processes to produce unique physical and hydraulic properties not possible with standard geotextiles, woven or nonwoven.
- Seams - Panels can be sewn together in the factory or field, providing cross-roll direction strength to facilitate installation.
-
- 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
- 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
- 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
