Fortrac® Heavy Load

Fortrac® Heavy Load

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Fortrac® Heavy Load is a heavy-duty support pad designed for extreme loads, such as monopoles for offshore wind turbines, pipelines, or ship components. It offers a uniform seating solution with high resistance to settlement and safe load transmission to the ground.

Challenges: Traditional steel or concrete support posts are costly, require additional support, and are relatively inflexible. The Fortrac® system addresses these issues by providing flexibility in height, width, and shape, and allowing easy access for lifting and transportation vehicles.

Benefits: The support pad is made from geosynthetic-reinforced fill materials, offering load capacities of 800 tons and higher. It is robust, ductile, and structurally type-tested, with a large base and bearing area. The system is lightweight due to the use of lightweight filling materials and is delivered in kit form for easy on-site assembly.

System Features:

Flexibility: Adjustable in diameter and height, suitable for various loads, transportable, and recyclable.
Safety: High resistance to deformation, efficient load transmission, and minimal settlement (<1.5% up to 800 tons).
Cost-effectiveness: Utilizes local soils or slags, requires low maintenance, and can include binders or pozzolanic ingredients for enhanced shear strength.

Optional Extras: The system can include base plates or a belt system for transportation, a drainage unit for hydraulic filling, and a cover for rain protection.

Technical Specifications: The support pad can be up to 2 meters in height and 4 meters in diameter. It is a patent-pending product under the Fortrac® trademark by HUESKER Synthetic GmbH, which is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 50001 standards.
