Fortrac® 3D Geogrids
A unique reinforcement solution to prevent slope veneer soil slippages and protect against soil erosion.
Fortrac 3D, a refinement of the familiar Fortrac geogrid, is used to stabilise soil on slopes. It is a flexible, three-dimensional reinforcement mat made from high-tensile, low-creep polyester with integral soil erosion prevention. By virtue of its spatial structure, Fortrac 3D exhibits outstanding interaction properties with soils (bond coefficient 1.0) as well as excellent soil retention when exposed to rainwater.
The geogrid's special polymer coating protects against UV radiation and mechanical damage. Given the in-depth understanding of its long-term behaviour, Fortrac 3D can be designed to meet any project-specific service life requirements.
Available in a range of strength to allow efficient selection for the particular application.
The product features are validated by compliance with the official, certified benchmarks specified in CE and/or ISO standards. Like all HUESKER products, Fortrac 3D can be tailored to specific project requirements. Please contact us for further details.
