Our FASTRACK range is a black woven polypropylene fabric made from slit film tapes which are then woven on Sulzer Looms. The warp tapes (machine direction) are beamed into the loom and the weft tapes (cross-machine direction) are threaded over and under alternate elements.   The woven product that emerges offers very high mechanical strengths per unit weight.

This range of standard grade woven geotextiles is used primarily as a separator to prevent good quality granular fill intermixing with the underlying lower quality soil. The material offers a good mechanical resistance to damage caused during installation and / or subsequent trafficking.  
The softer the underlying soil, the higher tensile strength of geotextile must be used. The geotextile then performs both as a separator and as a reinforcement. Ranging from tensile strengths of 16KN to in excess of 200KN.

Fastrack SG Range of Woven Geotextiles
This range is used primarily in a separation function to prevent good quality granular fill intermixing with the underlying lower quality soil. The materials offer a good mechanical resistance to damage caused during either installation and/or subsequent trafficking. The softer the underlying soil, the higher (stronger) the grade of geotextile you must use. In this latter area, the geotextile then performs both a separation and reinforcement function. Typical uses where a geotextile separation layer might be employed include new highways, car parks, airport runways, under stone foundation layers to new buildings, and so on.

Fastrack 609 Geotextile
Fastrack 609 is our woven alternative to Terram 1000 (Multitrack). Fastrack 609 is a cheaper and often more viable alternative, which is both stronger & lighter. Fastrack 609 has a permeability rate of 16.9 l/m 2 /sec which is suitable for most applications, however woven products inherently have a larger pore size making them less suited to erosion control. Typical applications include; granular separation, roads, car parks & paving.

Fastrack HF High Flow Range of Woven Geotextiles
Made from a combination of monofilament and/or multifilament tapes and yarns, the Highflow range of products are used where (as their name suggests) it is required that any excess of water escape quickly. Typical uses include erosion control applications, e.g. under concrete revetment blocks or between dissimilar layers of quick-draining granular fill, e.g. a coarse sand and a 20mm rounded gravel.

Fastrack HS High Strength Range of Woven Geotextiles
This range is the exception to the norm, in that these products are manufactured from woven polyester yarns. Due to its strength, low extension and excellent creep characteristics, the HS range is aimed solely at the reinforcement market. Typical product applications may include use in the construction of vertical walls, steep slopes and embankments over soft soil with a long-term life expectancy.
