Where it fits.
Selected where a woven separation or reinforcement layer should remain visually obvious during future excavation or inspection.

General installationKeep it intact
Keep it intact
until covered.
Follow the project method statement and current manufacturer guidance. The steps below are useful principles, not a substitute for application-specific design or inspection.
Store and protect
Keep rolls securely stacked and wrapped until required. Protect the fabric from damage and unnecessary exposure.
Prepare the subgrade
Remove shrubs, large rocks and similar obstructions. Fill deep ruts, voids and depressions to provide a smooth support.
Roll out to the contours
Keep the textile taut enough to minimise folds, but do not stretch it so that it bridges hollows. Temporary ballast may be needed in wind.
Maintain continuity
General manufacturer guidance is at least 300 mm overlap side by side and 600 mm end to end. Increase overlaps on soft or uneven ground.
Place cover fill safely
Do not traffic directly on exposed geotextile. End-tip onto the edge or already placed fill, then spread using suitable tracked plant.
Cover, inspect and repair
Provide at least 150 mm cover before trafficking or compaction. Repair damage with the same textile extending at least 1,000 mm beyond the affected area in every direction.
Cover promptly.
The current general installation guide says temporary uncovered exposure should not exceed seven days. Where a source product sheet states another EN 12224 value, use the more conservative limit unless the current Declaration of Performance confirms otherwise.

data sheet.
Two pages covering CORE stocked formats, declared technical values, installation principles, limitations and manufacturer traceability.
Selection limits
Check before specifying.
- The orange colour provides visibility but does not make the product a detectable warning tape or service marker.
- It is permeable and is not a certified contaminant-containment barrier.
- The correct reinforcement product and design method remain project-specific.
Product questions
Straight answers about the grade, its role and its limits.
Is FasTrack Orange technically different from FasTrack 609A?
The current manufacturer sheets publish the same mechanical and hydraulic values. The distinguishing feature is the bright orange colour and its high visibility as a buried layer.
Does the orange fabric replace warning tape?
No. It is a high-visibility geotextile, not a detectable warning tape, service marker or substitute for site-specific permit-to-dig controls.
Can it contain contaminated material?
It can provide a visible separation layer, but it is permeable and is not an impermeable containment barrier. Contaminated-land requirements need project-specific design and approval.
