FORTIS Base

FORTIS Base is geotextile produced by weaving (sometimes by warp knitting) of polyester yarns.

Application:

• • Base Reinforcement

FORTITEX Base geocomposites reinforce base course in roadways, providing shear resistance and improving the road system’s elastic modulus.

• • Filtration

The nonwoven geotextile layer of FORTITEX Base secures soils and aggregates while enabling water to pass through the geocomposite. Ponding and water-related erosion within the geocomposite reinforced system is prevented.

• • Separation of Subgrade Layers

FORTITEX Base prevents interfusion of materials with different fractions on the contact boundary of sand and chip stone layers.

• • Reinforced Steep Slopes

The exceptional bearing capacity of FORTITEX Base enables the construction of steeper, safer slopes to optimaze land use and reduce disturbance in of a constructions.
