1631 TenCate Geosynthetics is broadening the versatility of its MiraSpec design solutions software to assist with both flexible pavement and unpaved road design. The MiraSpec package is said to be an easy to use software program that can assist in both paved and unpaved road design. This latest version can allow a designer to perform roadway designs with and without geosynthetics. In addition, the designer will be able to calculate the cost savings and sustainability savings the addition of a geosynthetic will provide in the design. The package is a tool for engineers to design better and more cost-effective paved and unpaved roadways by incorporating geosynthetics.

The addition of an unpaved road analysis component using the Giroud-Han design theory is said to offer a major improvement to the firm’s MiraSpec software suite.
