FasTrack™ SG

FasTrack woven geotextiles are manufactured from polypropylene tapes, offering the perfect cost-effective solution for reinforcement, separation, filtration and drainage applications

FasTrack SG is used in areas such as access roads and hard standings, car parks and coastal defence projects. One of its primary uses is in separation applications where there is a requirement to prevent intermixing of soft in-situ soils with good clean granular fill.

FasTrack standard grade woven geotextiles

Manufactured from polypropylene tapes which are tightly woven, the strong weave of the material allows water can pass over easily to be directed to another source. Erosion is considerably reduced as water is sent in a different direction, and does not descend vertically into the ground. FasTrack is excellent at separating different types of soils to keep them protected and stable, which is especially important when separating dangerous types of soil.

FasTrack is available in a range of standard strengths and roll sizes. In addition, FasTrack Orange provides the perfect solution to alert workers of potential danger during excavation, the high vibrancy geotextile will alert operatives to potential dangers.

Compared to nonwovens geotextiles, FasTrack SG provides a greater mechanical strength per unit weight, providing a cost efficient and reliable solution for roads and temporary access roads.

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 orange being installed

FasTrack Orange

FasTrack Orange woven geotextile is based on our ever popuar FasTrack 609. It provides excellent performance for projects that require erosion control. The bright orange colour alerts contractors to avoid cross-contamination of soil types, such as the danger of further excavation which may lead to contaminated soil bleeding into safe soil.

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

Erosion Control

Creates a barrier that absorbs energy to reduce ground erosion

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.

Hinkley Point C Nuclear Power Station haul road

Working with J. Murphy & Sons and Balfour Beatty we helped with the construction of a ten-kilometre haul road to support the first UK nuclear power station to be built in over 20 years. When complete, Hinkley Point C in Somerset will provide low carbon electricity for around six million homes across the South West.
