Fortrac® 3D Geogrid

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Fortrac 3D Geogrid by HUESKER is designed to address the challenges of constructing stable slopes, especially in areas prone to heavy rain. It combines anti-slip reinforcement with soil erosion control, making it suitable for steep inclinations.

Product Features
Fortrac 3D is a flexible, three-dimensional reinforcement grid made from high-tensile, low-creep synthetic yarns. It offers:

High tensile strength ranging from 20 to 300 kN/m.
Resistance to alkaline environments and UV exposure.
Root-penetrable apertures for vegetation stability.
Easy installation due to its pliability and lack of memory effect.

Applications
Fortrac 3D is used in various applications including:

Embankments, dikes, and landfills.
Landscape structures and reservoirs.
Roadside slopes and spillways.

It is effective in preventing soil slippage and erosion, even under heavy rain conditions.

Installation and Benefits
The geogrid can be installed with soil nails for enhanced stabilization. It provides long-term protection against erosion and supports vegetation growth, ensuring slope stability. The product is customizable to meet specific project requirements.

Case Studies
Examples of Fortrac 3D applications include:

Landfill capping in France to prevent slope slippage.
Erosion control on steep roadside slopes in Macedonia.
Vegetated spillways in Switzerland to manage floodwater.
Snow-making reservoirs in Italy to stabilize gravel surfaces.

Certifications
HUESKER Synthetic GmbH is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 50001 standards, ensuring quality and environmental management.

Fortrac® 3D Geogrid High-Tensile Anti-Slip Reinforcement with Soil Retention Function

Open the catalog to page 1

Given the global increase in heavy-rain events, the construction of slopes with guaranteed long term stability poses a major challenge, particularly when built with steep inclinations. HUESKER's Fortrac 3D range offers a stabilisation solution that resists the downward forces of the soil mass and achieves a strong bond with soil particles and plant roots. Fortrac 3D, a refinement of the familiar Fortrac geogrid, is a flexible, three-dimensional reinforcement grid made from high-tensile, low-creep multifilament synthetic yarns with integral soil erosion prevention. Two crucial functions are therefore...
