Fire-retardant TenCate Polyfelt non-woven Geotextile for several Tunnels in Croatia

The TenCate Polyfelt® P006A non-woven, which is treated with fire retardant additives, is an integral part of the tunnel sealing system and thus essential for the success of this major project involving one of Europe’s future largest bridges. The non-woven geotextile was manufactured and installed according to the project requirements.

TenCate Geosynthetics is actively involved in what is currently one of Europe´s most important road construction projects. On the Croatian Adriatic coast, one of the largest bridges in Europe is currently being constructed on behalf of the state enterprise, Hravtske Ceste. The bridge, which will be finished in 2022, will boast a length of nearly 2.5 kilometers and a height of 55 meters. The special fire-retardant TenCate Polyfelt® P006 non-woven from TenCate Geoynthetics has been used in three tunnels along the access road which is 30 kilometers long.

Specific customer requirements

In order to meet the high technical requirements for tunnel construction, the protective non-woven geotextile was equipped with fire retardant additives. At the same time, TenCate Polyfelt® P006A offers a high protection effectiveness to prevent mechanical damage to the sealing during construction works and the operation of the tunnel.

Thanks to the decades of experience of TenCate Geosynthetics in the field of non-woven geotextile production and the experience from previous tunnel construction projects, it took only ten days from the conception stage to the actual production at the site in Linz.
