Webinars have grown significantly in their use for technical knowledge transfer, engineering training, and product and application introduction. HUESKER has been one of the active geosynthetics companies offering engineering webinars. The company is in the middle of a slate of new sessions, all of which are available free to participants.
The 30-minute sessions in April and May will focus on irrigation water conservation, essential properties on soil reinforcement, embankment on soft soils, and asphalt interlayers.
APRIL/MAY ENGINEERING WEBINARS FROM HUESKER
APRIL 13 ** 2:00 pm EDT
Conservation of Irrigation Water Webinar
- Presenter: Roy McClinton, Product Manager – Geocomposites
- Description: Geocomposite used for water conveyance, containment, and conservation. Canal3® provides superior puncture properties for various site conditions from smooth to rough subgrades and is available in several styles. Irrigation districts and contractors agree that the ease of installing Canal3® over other liners is not only cost effective but also reduces installation time by using our wider width materials. Installations of Canal3® can be performed by a subcontractor or by irrigation personnel with minimal instructions from a HUESKER technical representative.

APRIL 20 ** 1:30 pm EDT
Relevant Properties of Soil Reinforcement Products Webinar
- Presenter: Lilma Schimmel, MSCE, PE, Engineering Department Head
- Description: Geosynthetics can be manufactured from different polymers. The mechanical behavior of geosynthetic products depend on the material used for their fabrication. This webinar will address important concepts related to strength, stress/strain behavior of geosynthetics made with different polymers. Such fundaments are important to choose the right type of material depending on the engineering requirements related to deformation and loads. The focus of the presentation will be on the application of polyester and PVA geogrids and geotextiles as soil reinforcement.

MAY 4 ** 1:30 pm EDT
Embankment on Soft Soils Webinar
- Presenter: Lilma Schimmel, MSCE, PE, Engineering Department Head
- Description: The construction of embankments on soft soils can be very challenging from both the design and construction perspectives. Many alternatives are available, but in most cases geosynthetics are the most efficient and economical solution. Geosynthetics on such applications function as soil reinforcement, increasing stability while allowing for faster construction and steeper faces. This webinar will offer an overview of solutions for embankments founded on poor soils utilizing high strength geotextiles, geogrids and geotextile encased columns as deep foundations.

Asphalt Interlayer Webinar
- Presenter: Mike Samueloff
- Description: HUESKER‘s HaTelit® Paving Interlayers are designed specifically to improve the life cycle performance of hot mix asphalt overlays. By mitigating reflective cracking, HUESKER‘s family of paving interlayers can address a variety of pavement distresses commonly found in today’s pavements. This increases the time between pavement restoration and maintenance intervals and because of the benefit of less pavement cracking distresses, your annualized maintenance costs will be drastically reduced. Please join us and learn more about the features and benefits of HUESKER‘s HaTelit® pavement interlayers products.
