Woven Geotextiles
Fortex
Fortex is a woven geotextile made from fibers of the exclusive high-tenacity G5 polyester multifilament (PET)FORTEX is a geotextile woven with fibers of the exclusive G5 Multifilament of high tenacity polyester (PET), characterized by its high mechanical and hydraulic performance. It is ideal for the reinforcement of subgrade soils and granular layers in pavements, embankments and reinforced soil containment structures. Its structure is defined by the weft insertion technique, which gives it the fastest response in tension to soil deformations and stability in hydraulic performance at any level of tension or confinement.

______ Advantages ______
High tensile strength: high mechanical bearing capacity that stabilizes soft compressible soils.
High elastic modulus: high immediate elastic response that provides reinforcement to the soil.
Low creep: controls long-term deformation of structures.
Stability in hydraulic performance: frame insertion structure that keeps permeability at any level of stress or confinement.
Water evacuation on its plane: multifilament fibers that conduct water on its plane by transmissivity.
Multifunctional: in addition to its reinforcement capacity, it performs adequately as a separator and filter element.
