Woven geotextile

FasTrack

Our market-leading FasTrack woven geotextiles give outstanding performance. Their high load capacity and tensile strength, coupled with a relatively low elongation, provides a high material resistance to breaking under tension.

FasTrack standard grade woven geotextiles

FasTrack is an ideal separation and reinforcement product, making it a great, cost-effective choice for roads, car parks and other heavy traffic areas.

Woven geotextiles provide an effective solution for the separation of granular fill materials and for the provision of sub structure support. The most common application is use as a separating layer beneath roads, helping to prevent rutting through separation and providing tensile support.

Benefits

Maximum strength

The mechanical properties of FasTrack offer maximum strength at a minimal cost. FasTrack provide greater mechanical strength per unit weight compared to comparable nonwovens.

Water flow rates

FasTrack enables water flow rates normal to the plane greater than those stipulated in the design.

Carbon reduction

Achieve a significant reduction in the carbon footprint and costs of your project compared to traditional methods.

Resistant

Resistant to acids and alkalis at ambient temperatures with high biological resistance.

FasTrack 609 Orange being installed

FasTrack 609 Orange

FasTrack Orange woven geotextile is based on our ever popuar FasTrack 609. It provides excellent performance for projects that require separation and reinforcement. The bright orange colour helps to alerts users and future users to the potential danger of further excavation, such as the risk of intermixing contaminated and uncontaminated soils.

It also helps to direct the water elsewhere and avoid travelling vertically into the soil which aids stability. Woven geotextiles provide a strong separation between layers due to the interlocking nature of the polypropylene tapes and are ideal for heavy duty projects.

Key functions

Separation

Prevents intermixing of dissimilar soil layer

Reinforcement

Resists stresses or reduces deformations

Applications for FasTrack

FasTrack is a versatile premium woven geotextile, providing a cost-effective solution for reinforcement, separation, filtration and drainage applications.

Compounds and haul roads

Achieve an economical design with rapid delivery and reduced costs on your compound or haul road.

Compounds and haul roads

Paved roads

Whether a rigid or flexible pavement, FasTrack can aid in the construction of paved roads.

Roads

Hardstanding

FasTrack is the ideal solution to provide separation and reinforcement to hardstandings for parking vehicles or storing materials

Car parks

FasTrack allows rainwater to be transported to appropriate drainage systems rather than vertically into the soil, which could be detrimental to ground conditions beneath the car park.
