Civil engineers and construction professionals will meet international speakers, network with top-tier geohydraulics solutions companies, acquire practical engineering information to implement immediately, and have the opportunity to take part in high-level geohydraulics discussions in New Orleans. Two geohydraulics engineering events are coming to New Orleans, Louisiana 7 – 9 November 2017. Developed by the Technical Committee on Hydraulics (TC-H) of...

Biogeotechnical engineering is adding enzymes, microbes, and much more to the engineer's toolbox Geosynthetics have achieved some remarkable levels of performance in infrastructure. They play a big role, but they are only a small part of a project. Other materials, such as soils, aggregates, and concrete make up the rest of infrastructure. Increasingly, we find geosynthetics being used in conjunction...

TRI will host three geosynthetics CQA training short courses and two certification opportunities November 27 - December 1 in Austin, Texas The next CQA Week will present multiple opportunities for high-level CQA training and certification. Construction Quality Assurance experts in projects utilizing geosynthetics, such as in waste management and mining, ensure the effectiveness of the materials and their role in providing...

8 июля 2017 года, в конференц-зале отеля Savoy состоялся брифинг компании, посвященный официальному открытию первого в России демо-парка бетонного полотна. В брифинге приняли участие руководители компании изобретатели бетонного полотна и основатели Concrete Canvas Ltd (Великобритания) Питер Брейвен и Уилл Кроуфорд, а также представители United Concrete Canvas Russia – российского партнера британской компании. Участники мероприятия рассказали о преимуществах бетонного полотна по сравнению...

As communities throughout the Caribbean, Puerto Rico, southeast Texas, and Florida recover from hurricane flood damage, the International Erosion Control Association Region One (IECA) has issued a statement, extending its sympathies to affected communities and emphasizing its membership’s interest in being part of the recovery process. “Our members have a vast knowledge of drainage, stormwater and water quality management, and...

The Geosynthetic Institute’s Drs. Bob Koerner and George Koerner will lead a special online short course 3 – 5 October 2017 on QA/QC of Geosynthetics in Waste Containment Facilities. Worth 8 PDHs, the course will take place in two 90-minute blocks on each day (11:00 am – 12:30 pm and 2:00 – 3:30 pm. QA/QC OF GEOSYNTHETICS IN WASTE CONTAINMENT FACILITIES GSI...

The Erosion Control Technology Council provides a voice for the large field of professionals who focus on engineering solutions to control soil loss and assist with vegetation establishment.  One of the effective tools ECTC has developed is a Rolled Erosion Control Products specification. The organization announced in late August that its members have revised the RECP spec. The Rolled Erosion...

Many infrastructure applications rely upon geosynthetic barriers. Over time, we’ve seen the specification of 40 or 60-mil black high-density polyethylene geomembranes become so common that black HDPE can feel almost like a commodity product. In part, this seems at odds with the critical containment these geomembranes provide. But, it is also in part a testimony to how the geosynthetics...

Производство и понятие «геосинтетика» берёт своё начало задолго до того, как появилось само название. Термины «геотекстиль» и «геосинтетика» не использовались до тех пор, пока Д-р Дж. П. Жиру не ввёл их в свою презентацию на инженерной конференции в Париже в 1977 году. Эта конференция была столь значимой, что её признали первой международной конференцией по геосинтетике (1 ICG). Но до того...
