There’s an old saying in media that “content is king.” Our friends at NAUE Group are certainly celebrating a regal milestone in the field, as they published Issue #50 of NAUE News in December. The publication series, established in January 1998, has never been an exclusively corporate newsletter. The company has steadily delivered relevant project stories, standards updates, market development news, and other items that have an impact far beyond their offices.
It’s a welcomed record of the profession, the sort that few companies take the time to formally collect. In the archives of the publication series, one can find the modernization of landfill construction methods around the world, the changing needs of runway designs with larger aircraft, how certain construction methods have significantly reduced the carbon footprint of infrastructure, and so much more.
Geosynthetica has had the good fortune to share a number of case studies from NAUE over the years, and we congratulate its team on the enormous achievement of Issue #50.
