BUILDING GREENER ROADWAYS & PARKING LOTS WITH FORTA-FI


If you are a project owner, an engineer, or an architect involved in a green building project, have you considered ways to make your access roads and parking lots both greener and longer-lasting?  How about using an innovative fiber-reinforcement for asphalt product that can allow you to reduce material thicknesses without compromising design life? 

FORTA-FI® is a cost-effective way to three-dimensionally reinforce asphalt placements (roads, parking lots, sidewalks) to help them resist premature aging and the ravages of thermal, reflective, and fatigue cracking.  Millions of high-tensile strength aramid fibers in FORTA-FI® add strength, toughness, and durability to every ton of asphalt used in a typical asphalt project design, and thicknesses may be reduced up to 35% with similar design life!

FORTA-FI® can easily be blended into most job-mix formulas right at the asphalt production facility.  Both drum plants and batch plants can add FORTA-FI® at a rate of 1 lb. of fiber per 1 ton of asphalt, and no modifications are required to standard paving and compaction practices. 

Going Longer…Going Stronger with FORTA-FI® is a unique way to innovate your project design, reduce your material costs, and minimize your carbon footprint!  Porous asphalt mix designs can be fiber-reinforced, too!   

Consider using FORTA-FI® to reduce the amount of material needed for the hardscape areas in your design!
