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.
