Over the past century, the glaciers in the Alps have been reduced visibly. Measurements on glaciers have shown a reduction of the area by 15% in the period from 1969 to 1998. This trend is ongoing! This reduction is seriously affecting the skiing industry. Lift stations suddenly have no direct access to the glaciers, ski …
Brookshire-Katy Drainage District (BKDD) maintains a drainage channel that runs along Stalknecht Road in Waller County Texas. Extreme storm water flows caused by Hurricane Harvey caused the roadside drainage ditch to experience erosion and slope instability, reducing the channel’s capacity. The severe erosion and reduction in channel capacity prompted BKDD to pursue permanent erosion protection. …
APM Terminals (owner of the terminal) had to re-build 40,000 sq yds of platforms and roads that presented bearing capacity failures and capillary rise issues during rainy events. The pavement and platform structures needed to support four rows of containers (80 tons) on very soft soils. The client needed to increase the bearing capacity, moisture …
Lake Michigan has been experiencing historic lake water levels that has caused erosion of beaches and sand dunes in front of many residential and commercial properties causing in some cases houses falling into the lake. TenCate Geosynthetics partnered with WaterSolve LLC to provide conceptual designs of 5’ high x 10’ wide sand filled Geotube® soft …
On Oct. 7, 2016, Hurricane Matthew neared Northeast Florida's coastline, causing significant beach erosion, damaging structures across Jacksonville. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma struck Florida twice, making landfall at Cudjoe Key as a Category 4 storm, and on Marco Island as a Category 3. The hurricane weakened significantly and was downgraded to a tropical storm …

A section of Interstate 65 near Indianapolis, IN required resurfacing due to cracking from heavy traffic loading. The roadway included asphalt concrete layers over an underlying jointed concrete pavement. The project engineers originally considered a mill and fill operation to replace the deteriorated pavement with new asphalt concrete. Recognizing that using traditional replacement methods would …

US Route 385 near Angora, Nebraska was being widened to a two-lane, divided highway, and there were several areas where challenging subgrade conditions were encountered. The native subgrade consisted of a soft, silty clay and a high water table, making construction of the road using traditional methods impossible. Because of the location of the project, …
