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

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...

Fortrac 3D Plus Points Flexible geogrid with 3D mesh structure Reliable protection against external actions Flexible, high-tensile geogrid with additional spatial mesh structure. Providing anti-slip reinforcement and long term protection against surface erosion. High UV resistance and protection against mechanical damage thanks to special polymer coating and product flexibility. Stability for critical slip surfaces Fast and straightforward installation Driving forces are accommodated and diverted, thereby preventing slope veneer soil slippage. The robust, yet pliable material can be readily cut...
