During the last International Erosion Control Association (IECA) conference and exhibition, Geosynthetica’s Elizabeth Peggs sat down with Beth Chesson, Co-Chair of the IECA Committee on Standards & Practices. The interview was conducted in a bustling exhibit hall–as is apparent in the background–but Beth’s comments are well worth a listen.
Here, Chesson reports on the news from the committee and its various subcommittees, explaining their structures and functions, identifying their goals, and laying out some ambitious timelines.
