Maccaferri’s professional development webinars have built a steady, strong following and addressed topics such as geotextiles and geogrids, MSE wall design and installation, gabions, rockfall protection, and embankment construction. These sessions run roughly 90 min, include expert presenters, provide a non-credit 0.15 CEU certificate, share technical document downloads, and offer ample time for direct Q&A between the listening audience and the presenters.
In November, the company is presenting two new sessions, both of which are free to participants:
