Septic Tanks

In 1978, FORTA Corporation introduced the concept of three-dimensional synthetic fiber reinforcement to the construction market worldwide. One of the major initial product applications for these fibers was a wide variety of precast applications as alternative handling/temperature reinforcement to labor-intensive wire mesh.

During that time, FORTA® continued to develop and test a second-generation synthetic fiber that could offer improved benefits that would affect the actual structural properties of the concrete itself. In 1999, FORTA® introduced FORTA-FERRO® — a structural synthetic fiber that lives up to its name — "Strong As Steel". This fiber has played an important role in the recent changes and development of testing and performance of precast septic tanks, and has allowed the tank-producing industry to realize a valuable goal in producing durable and cost-effective steel-free products.

FORTA-FERRO® is approved by most states and sanitation districts for use in septic tanks. Please call your FORTA® representative for information related to local guidelines in your service area, or for engineering services available.
