COMPANY BACKGROUND:
Huesker is a manufacturer of Fortrac®
high tenacity polyester (PET) geogrids and Comtrac® high strength
polyester geotextiles.
Fortrac® high tenacity polyester (PET)
geogrids:
Fortrac geogrids are comprised of high tenacity
polyester yarns woven or knitted into a grid pattern creating a flexible
reinforcement for soil structures. A polymeric coating is applied to the
geogrid to stabilize the yarn configuration and to provide protection from
potential installation and exposure damage. Fortrac geogrids consists of
polyester yarns that have a moleculare weight greater than 25,000 g/mol and a
Carboxyl End Group of less than 25 meq/kg.
Fortrac geogrids are used to reinforce
retaining walls, slopes and embankments, synthetic and natural landfill lining
systems, along with railroad and roadway base materials. Fortrac geogrids have
wide width tensile strengths ranging from 15KN/m to 500 KN/m and are produced
with finished roll widths of 3.7 and 5 meters.
Comtrac® high strength geotextiles:
Comtrac geotextiles are high strength woven
polyester reinforcement products used in the construction of embankments over
soft soils. Comtrac geotextiles provide tensile reinforcement of soil
structures in addition to separation of dissimilar materials. Tensile strengths
of Comtrac geotextiles range from 90 KN/m to 800 KN/m with standard roll widths
of 5 meters. Comtrac geotextiles can be interwoven with a select nonwoven
geotextile to provide high strength and separation for use with extremely fine
grained saturated soils.
