EXCESSIVE MOISTURE IN SUBGRADES &

BASE COURSESMirafi® H2Ri removes water and reduces the

moisture content of subgrades and aggregate

base courses, increasing the modulus

and improving pavement performance.

FROST HEAVE/ THAW WEAKENING

Mirafi® H2Ri reduces the moisture content

of frost-susceptible soils, mitigating

pavement damage caused by differential

frost heave and thaw weakening.

EXPANSIVE SOILSMirafi® H2Ri controls the variability in

moisture content in expansive soils to

reduce the severity of shrink/swell and

edge cracks on roadways.

Attack the ThreatMoisture is the Threat to Roadways and Civil Structures

Mirafi® H2Ri aggressively manages moisture and mitigates its impact on the construction and maintenance of roadways and civil structures.

Mirafi® H2Ri is the only solution in the geosynthetic market that integrates the traditional reinforcement and stabilization functions with a continuous moisture management system.
